- Is the Evening Post Publishing Data Incident Settlement notice real, or a scam?
- Simpluris is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at eveningpostdatasettlement.com.

If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
