A data breach that reportedly exposed the personally identifiable information of 2.9 billion people, including Social Security numbers, has called mainstream attention to the conditions that enable massive data leaks and the complexities of litigating on behalf of their victims.
The breach became public knowledge this month after a California resident filed a class action lawsuit against background check company Jerico Pictures, doing business as National Public Data in Coral Springs, Florida, on Aug. 1 in the Southern District of Florida, Fort Lauderdale Division. The plaintiff is represented by Kopelowitz Ostrow Ferguson Weiselberg Gilbert, Arnold Law Firm and Wucetich Korovilas.
