The 2023 Mr. Cooper Data Breach

In October 2023, Mr. Cooper disclosed a cyberattack that exposed personal information of approximately 14.7 million current and former customers. The compromised data included full names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, and financial account information. Mr. Cooper took its systems offline during the breach response, temporarily preventing customers from making mortgage payments -- itself a source of consumer harm and complaint.

Class action lawsuits filed after the breach allege Mr. Cooper failed to implement adequate cybersecurity measures for a company holding this volume of sensitive financial data, failed to notify affected customers promptly, and caused ongoing harm through the risk of identity theft and financial fraud created by the compromise of Social Security numbers and financial data.

Mortgage Servicing Claims

Separately from the data breach, Mr. Cooper faces ongoing consumer protection and regulatory claims about its mortgage servicing practices. Common mortgage servicer claims include: improper payment application; force-placed insurance at inflated rates; inaccurate credit reporting; failure to properly process loan modifications; and unauthorized fees. Mr. Cooper's predecessor Nationstar faced regulatory consent orders for servicing violations.

Who Qualifies

Current and former Mr. Cooper mortgage customers whose personal and financial information was compromised in the October 2023 breach may have data breach class action claims. Mortgage customers who experienced servicing problems including improper fees, force-placed insurance, or credit reporting errors may have separate consumer protection claims. Related: AT.

Status 2026

Data breach class actions against Mr. Cooper are in active proceedings. Mortgage servicing claims continue separately. No comprehensive settlement has been announced.
