If North American Breaker Company, LLC ("NABCO" or "Defendant") Notified You that Your Personal Information was Impacted in a Data Security Incident Detected by NABCO on August 26, 2024, You may be Eligible for Benefits from a Class Action Settlement.
What is this Lawsuit about?
This Litigation alleges that on August 26, 2024, Defendant, NABCO, experienced a ransomware attack perpetrated by the Akira ransomware group (the "Data Security Incident"). Plaintiffs further assert that, as a result of the Data Security Incident, cybercriminals accessed and obtained sensitive and confidential personal information belonging to Plaintiffs and Class Members, including names and Social Security numbers (collectively, "Personally Identifiable Information" or "PII"). After learning of the Data Security Incident, notification was mailed to individuals whose PII may have been impacted by the Data Security Incident. Subsequently, this Litigation was filed asserting claims against NABCO relating to the Data Security Incident. NABCO denies Plaintiffs' claims and denies any wrongdoing.
