About this episode

The episode discusses Capital One's $35 million settlement for a data breach affecting Canadian cardholders and the potential claims they can make.

Capital One’s $35 million settlement for its 2019 data breach could mean cash for Canadian cardholders affected — but the court must approve it first. Hackers stole millions of Canadians’ personal and financial details, including Social Insurance Numbers, and the lawsuit claims Capital One failed to protect the data. If approved, eligible Canadians (outside Quebec) who received breach notices can claim up to $200 for time lost if their SIN was exposed, plus $75 bonus, or $50 for annual fees — with amounts varying based on impact. No action needed yet; claims will open after court approval on September 22, 2026. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
