Lawsuit against cardiology practice alleges fraudulent charges from data breach

Posted on July 11, 2023 by Dissent

In many potential class action lawsuits stemming from a data breach, none of the named plaintiffs may have experienced any concrete injury such as identity theft or fraud that could plausibly linked to the breach. Here’s a lawsuit where’s the plaintiffs report concrete injury. Whether they will be able to link it to the particular breach will remain to be seen. Terrie Morgan-Besecker of The Times-Tribune reports:

Cybercriminals attempted to access accounts of a Scranton couple who are among clients whose personal information was exposed in a data breach at a Commonwealth Health cardiology group’s practice, according to a proposed class-action lawsuit.

Robert and Colleen Maziarz of Scranton say there have been at least six different incidents since April in which their identity and/or banking information was improperly used, including an attempt to withdraw money from a PayPal account.
