Wawa has agreed to pay $8 million to end a multistate investigation into a data breach that compromised up to 34 million credit and debit cards used at its stores in 2019.
Florida will receive up to $1.1 million in the settlement but Attorney General Ashley Moody does not plan to share the money with Florida victims of the breach.
“The money secured in today’s announcement will go toward future consumer protection and privacy enforcement efforts to hold deceptive actors accountable and to consumer education,” said Kylie Mason, deputy communications director for Moody’s office, in an email on Tuesday.
