Lawsuit filed for lack of quick disclosure
In just another example of the consequences that can result from a data breach due to internal shenanigans, a California law firm has filed a class-action lawsuit against Fidelity National Information Services and one of its subsidiaries for negligence. The suit claims that the personal data of 8.5 million people was left exposed after a senior database administrator illegally accessed and downloaded the information and sold that private information to data broker. The attorney in the case notes that Fidelity National did not notify consumers of the theft "in a timely and adequate manner." This just goes to show that while "loose lips may sink ships," a failure to communicate is terminal. A dollar figure was not disclosed.
