Meal Delivery Service Hit by Multiple Lawsuits Concerning Data Breach
Description
PurFoods, the parent company of Mom’s Meals, which delivers ready-to-eat meals across the US, faced a new lawsuit in November regarding a cyberattack between January 16 and February 22, 2023. Filed in South Carolina, this lawsuit joins other similar suits accusing the company of negligence leading to the breach of nearly 1.2 million individuals’ personal identifiable information (PII). A key aspect of this case is the inclusion of health information in the compromised data, which brings the incident under HIPAA jurisdiction. The company launched an investigation after detecting suspicious account activity a month after the attack.
