Cash App Security Settlement

Received an email about this

A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Block, Inc. (“Block”) and Cash App Investing, LLC (“Cash App Investing”) that alleges that Block and Cash App Investing were negligent and breached other obligations to users when a former Cash App Investing employee accessed account data without permission in 2022 and when an unauthorized user accessed certain Cash App accounts in 2023 using recycled phone numbers that were linked to the accounts.  Plaintiffs further allege that Block and Cash App Investing were negligent and breached other obligations to users when they failed to implement appropriate controls to prevent unauthorized access to and use of Cash App accounts and when they mishandled and failed to adequately resolve customer complaints regarding unauthorized and unintended transactions. Block and Cash App Investing contest these claims and deny that they did anything wrong.
Not sure if it is legitimate, and seems to be from America as American phone number etc. Not sure how they got my details, as I didn't sign up to anything.

Thoughts please?

Thanks

    If it's not a service that you've ever subscribed to, or if you didn't elect to take part in the class action they talk about, then odds are it's spam at best or phishing at worst. Best to ignore.

    Thanks - yeah that’s what I’m thinking too. Was just curious in case anyone else got it too, or knew it was legitimate
