Affected Guidewire Software, Inc. users should immediately change passwords on all platforms.

Under the Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00), you may have a legal claim if:
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.
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.
Data breach victims regularly report anxiety, loss of sleep, and ongoing fear of identity theft. These non-economic harms are cognizable injuries in data breach litigation, particularly in cases involving SSN or medical record exposure.
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.
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.
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.
Accepting free credit monitoring from Guidewire Software, Inc. 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.
Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by Guidewire Software, Inc. during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
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.
