Equifax Data Breach Litigation Now Includes Securities Suit | The D&O Diary

By Securities Docket on September 13, 2017, 7:44 am

In the wake of credit monitoring and reporting firm Equifax’s announcement last week that it had sustained a data breach involving 143 million U.S. customers, a wave of consumer class action lawsuits has followed. In addition, the litigation wave now also includes at least one securities class action lawsuit; more securities suits are likely to follow. Although data breach-related D&O claims have not fared particularly well in the past, there are features of the Equifax situation that may put the securities suits against Equifax in a different category. An even more interesting question is the extent to which the new lawsuit portends further data breach-related securities litigation going forward.
