US Supreme Court Wades into Data Breach Lawsuits

The US Supreme COurt has accepted a case to determine standing in data breach cases. We all know data breach law suits flow freely after a data breach. The question among courts has been is the injury to the person suing- that the information is out in the black market for information or does some economic damage have to occur before the individual can seek a court remedy.

The case that will shed light on data breach standing is Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins.
