Case overview
What is the Carnival settlement about?
A proposed class action accuses Carnival Corporation of mishandling the fallout from a data breach that allegedly occurred on April 18, 2026. According to the complaint, personally identifiable information belonging to customers was stolen in a cyberattack allegedly linked to the ShinyHunters ransomware group, and Carnival failed to properly notify those affected. The lawsuit also alleges negligence and violations of state and federal consumer protection laws. Carnival denies any wrongdoing.
Importantly, no settlement has been reached in this case. The matter is still working through the court system and arbitration, with no final decision yet made.
