As we have repeatedly noted, identity theft is a multi-billion dollar problem. Many companies have responded to this threat by upgrading their security procedures. However, too many people have been put at risk. Last week, the personal information of 508 Illinois senior citizens was exposed. This information was in a briefcase that is now likely in the hands of criminals.
Disclosure of personal information and medical information is unlawful, and we have brought lawsuits on behalf of victims of such disclosures in the TRICARE/SAIC, Zappos, Sutter Health and Saint Joseph data breaches. If you believe your personal information was exposed and has been misused, please contact us immediately to discuss your legal options.
