Data breaches have become an ever-present fact of American life. Through negligent leaks and ransomware attacks, online criminals can gain access to personal identifying information, such as names, Social Security numbers (SSNs), medical treatment details, and credit card numbers. Once in the hands of criminals, this information can be used to run up debts in victims’ names, steal from bank accounts, or order fake medical procedures.
Large companies often collect more data than they actually need, hold it for too long, and fail to provide enough security. When they do, class action attorneys can secure compensation to data breach victims for time lost and losses incurred, and can push companies to adopt better, stronger data protection. The attorneys at Migliaccio & Rathod LLP have years of experience with data security litigation.
