Alpha Baking Co. data breach

Yes — the Alpha Baking Co. data breach settlement is a real claims process that SettleSignal tracks from its official source. It is administered by Simpluris under case 2025CH000063 in Circuit Court of Sangamon County, Illinois. File only through the official settlement website (alphabakingsettlement.com); a genuine settlement administrator never charges a fee to file. SettleSignal last checked this record against the official source on June 21, 2026. Always confirm the current details on the official site before filing.

All living individuals who were sent notice by the Defendant that their Private Information was impacted by the January 2025 Alpha Baking Co. cyberattack. Excluded are company directors/officers, government entities, and court personnel.

$75 alternate payment with no documentation required, or up to $4,000 for documented losses (receipts required). Two years of CyEx Financial Shield Complete with $1 million fraud insurance. Aggregate cap of $1,050,000. The exact amount you may receive is decided by the settlement administrator based on your valid claim and is not guaranteed; a total settlement-fund figure is shared among all eligible claimants, not paid to each person.

The claim deadline is June 22, 2026. Confirm the current deadline on the official settlement source before filing.

Proof requirement: Optional. The settlement administrator determines what documentation, if any, is required.

Current payment status: Payment pending. Payments are issued by the administrator after the court process concludes.

Current payment status: Payment pending. Class-action payouts typically begin only after final approval and any appeals. See our payout timeline guide.

The official claim form is hosted by the settlement administrator, Simpluris. Use the 'Open official claim form' button on this page — never pay a fee to file.

Alpha Baking mailed or emailed notices starting April 23, 2026. If you got one, you're in the settlement class. Check your spam folder or contact the settlement administrator at (833) 386-6604 if you're unsure.

The $75 payment requires no proof — just fill out the form and pick that option. The documented-loss option lets you claim up to $4,000, but you must submit receipts or other paperwork showing real out-of-pocket costs tied to the breach. You can't claim both.

All cash payouts — flat $75 payments and documented-loss claims combined — can't exceed $1,050,000 total. If the total claimed exceeds that, every payment gets reduced proportionally. There's no way to know your exact payout until claims are tallied after the deadline.

The Final Approval Hearing is July 21, 2026. If the court approves the settlement and no appeals are filed, payments go out after that. Appeals can delay things further, so budget some patience.

You won't receive any cash or credit monitoring, and you'll still give up your right to sue Alpha Baking over this breach. If you want to keep your right to sue separately, you need to opt out by June 22, 2026.
