(Update) Ru: Web Stores Sued Over Data Leaks

Posted on August 1, 2011 by Dissent

Khristina Narizhnaya reports:

An independent consumer rights watchdog has sued 10 of about 80 online stores whose customers’ personal information became available last week on the Internet, hoping to set a precedent for further privacy breach lawsuits.

The Consumer Union of Russia wants the companies to admit that they broke the law by not preventing the leaks, which include the full names and addresses of clients, as well as passport details for some customers.

[…]

The lawsuits, which include no monetary claims, aim not to punish the offenders but to pave the way for legal action by those whose privacy rights are violated, either in this case or in future incidents, Shelishch said.

The organization filed a similar lawsuit last month against the MegaFon mobile operator after a leak of about 8,000 text messages by its clients. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for next week.
