AG secures settlement with graduation company after data breach

Posted on December 17, 2022 by Dissent

James Wesser reports:

Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced on Friday, Dec. 16 a settlement with a graduation memorabilia company after a data security event discovered in April 2021 exposed Pennsylvanians’ private information.

“Protecting Pennsylvanians’ personal information and financial data is a key priority of my office,” said AG Shapiro. “Every corporation that does business in Pennsylvania needs to stay alert and protect their customer’s personal data or they will have to answer to my office in court. The terms of today’s settlement will help Herff Jones graduate to better protection of consumers’ personal information.”

The breach was first disclosed on Twitter by one of the students who had been victimized. Earlier this year, the company settled a class action lawsuit stemming from the incident for $4.35 million.
