Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies data incident settlement

Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies U.S.A. has settled a lawsuit over a data incident it discovered in approximately September 2025. The class is everyone living in the United States whose private information was affected and who received notice from the company, so if that is you, you may be eligible for a flat $50 payment with no documents, or instead up to $2,500 in documented out-of-pocket losses, plus two years of free credit monitoring. Claims close November 25, 2026, and the court decides whether to approve the settlement on December 11, 2026. Filing on the official settlement site is free, and only the administrator and the court decide who is paid.

Expected

The notice says no benefits are provided unless the court approves the settlement and it becomes final, and points class members back to the settlement website for updates rather than naming a payment date.

Read off the official notice, in its own words. These dates slip — an appeal can move a distribution by a year or more — so treat it as the administrator's plan rather than a schedule.

Johnson et al. v. Fujifilm Diosynth Biotechnologies U.S.A., Inc. · 26CV012339-910 · Wake County Superior Court, North Carolina

The no-documentation option is a flat $50. The alternative is reimbursement of up to $2,500 in documented out-of-pocket losses incurred after September 4, 2025, which the notice caps at $175,000 across all claims, so those payments can be cut back pro rata. Two years of credit monitoring through CyEx Identify Defense Complete is also offered. Reasonable documentation such as receipts, phone records or emails is required for the loss option, and a personal statement alone is not enough. The online form opens only with a LoginID and PIN from the mailed notice; a paper form can be mailed instead.
