In August 2020, FPI Management Inc. suffered a cyberattack where unauthorized parties accessed sensitive resident data, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, passport numbers, financial account details, and medical information in some cases. The breach exposed current and former residents of managed properties to identity theft risks, leading to a class action lawsuit alleging violations of California’s Consumer Privacy Act and Customer Records Act. Affected individuals could claim reimbursements (up to $4,250) for out-of-pocket expenses, lost time, and identity theft losses, alongside two years of free credit monitoring. The settlement fund covered administrative costs, legal fees, and payouts, with FPI denying liability but opting to settle to avoid prolonged litigation. The incident underscored failures in data protection protocols, resulting in prolonged financial and reputational harm for impacted residents.
