What Happened

Axosoft LLC dba GitKraken.com was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the MA Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on April 24, 2026.

From the AG filing description

Axosoft LLC dba GitKraken.com appears to be a technology company that provides software development tools, version control management platforms, and developer collaboration solutions.

This data security incident was officially reported to the Massachusetts Attorney General in 2026. If you received a data breach notification letter from GitKraken, it means your personal information may have been compromised in this incident. This page is designed to help you understand what occurred and what types of information may have been exposed.

Rights Under the Law

Common categories of compensation in data breach class actions

Time & Inconvenience

Courts recognize that the time spent monitoring accounts, placing credit freezes, and dealing with the aftermath of a breach has real economic value. This category of damages is recoverable even without direct financial loss.

Financial Losses & Fraudulent Charges

Direct financial losses resulting from the breach — unauthorized charges, fraudulent transfers, or fees incurred through fraud — are recoverable as compensatory damages. Banks may reverse some charges; a class action recovers the remainder and associated costs.

Account Compromise Damages

When login credentials are exposed, the costs of downstream account compromises — password managers, security audits, and recovery costs for hijacked downstream accounts — can be recovered. Courts in recent class actions have awarded damages for credential exposure even without proven misuse.

Statutory Minimum Damages

Several state data breach laws provide for statutory minimum damages — fixed amounts recoverable per affected individual regardless of actual loss. These provisions exist specifically to make legal action viable for victims who have not yet experienced direct harm.

Note: an attorney general breach filing does not by itself establish a settlement fund, a payment amount, or a claim deadline. If an official settlement notice is later issued, rely on that notice for payment details and deadlines.

Applicable State Law

This breach was reported under the Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00), which mandates notification and establishes your right to seek damages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need proof that my data was misused to file a claim against Axosoft LLC dba GitKraken.com?

No. Under Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00) and federal law, the unauthorized exposure of your personal data — regardless of whether it has been actively misused — can be sufficient grounds for a claim. The breach itself is the injury.

How much does filing a claim cost?

Nothing. The Law Office of David S. Harris handles data breach cases on contingency — you pay zero upfront and owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.

My financial account data was exposed. Can the bank recover my losses?

Banks may reverse fraudulent charges, but they are not obligated to compensate you for time lost, stress, or indirect damages. A class action claim against the breached company can recover those additional categories of harm.

Is there a deadline to file a claim?

State statutes of limitations for data breach claims typically run 2–4 years from the date of the breach or its discovery. Because this breach was recently disclosed, the window is open — but acting early preserves your options and strengthens the case.

What if Axosoft LLC dba GitKraken.com offered me free credit monitoring after the breach?

Accepting free credit monitoring from Axosoft LLC dba GitKraken.com does not waive your right to pursue legal action unless you signed a specific release waiving claims. In most cases, victims who accepted monitoring can still file.

Do I need to have received a notice letter to be eligible?

Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by Axosoft LLC dba GitKraken.com during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.

How long does a data breach class action lawsuit take?

Most data breach class actions resolve within 18 to 36 months, though timelines vary by court and complexity. Your participation requires minimal effort — typically completing a claim form. Our office handles all litigation; you are notified when a settlement is reached.
