Johns Hopkins hit with class action lawsuit connected to data breach.
A class action lawsuit has been filed against Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins Health system in the wake of a data breach that impacted patients, students, and employees.
Recently, Johns Hopkins University has been hit with a class action lawsuit related to a data breach in which patients’ information was accessed without authorization.
The lawsuit alleges that the university failed to adequately protect the patients’ information and was negligent in its security protocols.
The lawsuit, which was filed in federal court, seeks compensation for the victims of the data breach. It also seeks to hold the university accountable for its negligence in protecting the patients’ data.
The plaintiffs argue that the university failed to implement proper security measures, such as multi-factor authentication and encryption, which would have prevented the breach. They also argue that the university failed to notify the victims in a timely manner, and that it did not properly investigate the breach or take measures to prevent a similar incident from occurring in the future.
The lawsuit is a reminder of the importance of data security and the need for organizations to properly protect their customers’ information. It also serves as a reminder that organizations must take proactive measures to ensure that their systems are secure and that their customers are notified in a timely manner in the event of a data breach.
Johns Hopkins University has yet to comment on the lawsuit, but it is clear that the university must take steps to ensure that its systems are secure and that its customers are protected.
