Summary: The class action lawsuit, spearheaded by Dennis R. Werley, is lodged against Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe International, LLP. The firm is accused of negligence and recklessness due to their alleged failure to sufficiently safeguard their computer network. This purported oversight led to a data breach on March 13, 2023, resulting in the unauthorized access and theft of sensitive personal information belonging to over 152,818 individuals. The compromised data included names, addresses, birth dates, and Social Security numbers. Orrick is accused of privacy violation, fraud, and facilitating identity theft. The lawsuit further contends that Orrick breached the Federal Trade Commission Act and various state laws by not maintaining adequate data security. The plaintiff and class members have reportedly experienced an uptick in spam calls and are at an increased risk of identity theft and exploitation. The stolen data was allegedly compiled into "Fullz" packages, comprehensive personal profiles, which were subsequently sold to other criminals. The lawsuit seeks actual, statutory, and punitive damages, attorney fees, costs, and expenses. It also demands injunctive relief, including enhancements to Orrick's data security systems, future annual audits, and long-term credit monitoring services funded by Orrick. The plaintiff's ultimate goal is to ensure that his personal information, along with that of others, is safeguarded against future breaches.
