f you ever used Cash App in the last few years, especially between 2018 and 2024, there’s a good chance you’ve been affected by a major data breach. Millions were hit. And now? Cash App is paying up. You might be able to claim up to $2,500, but you’ve gotta know what to do and when.
Let’s not complicate it. Here’s the plain truth.

What Happened
- Between 2021 and 2023, someone inside — a former employee — got access to a ton of user info.
- The info wasn’t just names. We’re talking financial data.
- It got out. People noticed stuff like:
- Identity theft
- Weird transactions
- Account takeovers
The company, Block Inc. (they own Cash App), got dragged into court. Now they’re paying $15 million to settle it.
Who Can Actually Get the Money?
You don’t have to be a tech expert or lawyer to understand this.
You qualify if:
- You used Cash App between Aug 23, 2018 and Aug 20, 2024
- Your personal data got exposed (even if you didn’t lose money)
- Or — if you had identity theft, fraud, or suspicious account activity
Having proof helps but isn’t always needed. If you do have it, great. Stuff like:
- Statements with unauthorized charges
- Credit monitoring bills
- Screenshots of anything shady
- Emails from Cash App about the breach
More proof = better shot at higher payment.
