Dollar Tree data breach class action overview:
- Who: Zeroed-In Technologies is facing a class action lawsuit over a data breach that impacted nearly two million individuals including employees and clients of Dollar Tree and Family Dollar.
- Why: Zeroed-In is accused of not providing adequate cybersecurity to block the Dollar Tree data breach and Family Dollar data breach.
- Where: The Family Dollar data breach class action was filed in federal court in Florida.
Zeroed-In Technologies is facing a class action lawsuit claiming it did not do enough to prevent a data breach that impacted more than 1.9 million individuals including employees and clients of Dollar Tree and Family Dollar.
Zeroed-In is a cloud-based human resource analytics platform that collects, analyzes and visualizes workforce data while collecting information from those who applied for work at Zeroed-In or its client Dollar Tree, which owns Family Dollar.
Zeroed-In reported on Nov. 27 that it had found unusual activity on its servers on Aug. 8 and launched an investigation that found that sensitive information of employees and clients of Dollar Tree and Family Dollar had been accessed by an unauthorized person, the lawsuit claims.
Dollar Tree data breach included names, date of birth and Social Security
The data access included the names, dates of birth, and/or Social Security numbers of 1.977 million individuals.
“Zeroed-In provided limited details about the Data Breach, including whether or not the cybercriminal(s) responsible for breach were identified or whether the information exfiltrated was held for ransom,” the Dollar Tree class action lawsuit says. “Zeroed-In also did not disclose whether its investigation detected the compromised information on the dark web.”
Zeroed-In offered Single Bureau Credit Monitoring to individuals but the class action claims that the offer is woefully inadequate related to the damage done.
Family Dollar agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that its distribution center in Arkansas was infested with rodents, resulting in contaminated products.
