Am I eligible for the Mercor investigation?
You may qualify if you contracted with Mercor, or applied to, and gave personal information during onboarding, identity verification or payment setup. You could be eligible if you signed a Mercor Worker Agreement or submitted a W-9, uploaded a passport, driver’s license or other government ID for identity verification, completed a recorded AI video interview, assessment or onboarding call, or received a breach notification from Mercor. This is not a complete list — you may still be eligible if you provided other personal information to Mercor. The class period is January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2027.

What is this investigation about?
In March 2026 Mercor disclosed that it was affected by a supply-chain attack involving the LiteLLM open-source library. According to public reporting and lawsuits filed against Mercor, the incident allegedly exposed approximately 4 terabytes of contractor data, which may have included Social Security numbers, government IDs, payment information, facial biometric data, voice recordings and AI video interview footage. The hacking group LAPSUS$ has reportedly claimed responsibility and is alleged to be auctioning the data on the dark web. The lawsuits claim that affected contractors could face long-term risks that ordinary credit monitoring may not fully address, including identity theft, deepfake impersonation, fraudulent account creation and tax fraud. Mercor contractors who may have been affected could be eligible to bring an individual arbitration claim against Mercor under the arbitration provision in its Worker Agreement — this is an individual arbitration, not a class action, and to proceed you must be willing to bring that claim. This is an attorney-advertising intake. No outcome is guaranteed and there is no cost to have your claim reviewed.
