Umpqua class action overview:
- Who: Plaintiff Roberto Chapman filed a class action lawsuit against Columbia Banking Systems Inc., known as Umpqua Bank.
- Why: Nearly 430,000 Umpqua customers had their personal information compromised in the Umpqua data breach, which the plaintiff believes is due to Umpqua’s negligence.
- Where: The Umpqua MOVEit class action was filed in federal court in Washington.
Plaintiff Roberto Chapman filed a class action lawsuit against Umpqua Bank after the data of an estimated 429,252 individuals was compromised through vendor MOVEit during the Umpqua data breach.
Umpqua Bank should have known about the Umpqua MOVEit data breach around May 31 but the bank claims it became aware on June 21 and began alerting customers around August, according to the Umpqua class action.
The bank used MOVEit to move, store and share files containing personal information of customers, the Umpqua MOVEit lawsuit claims.
“For the rest of their lives, plaintiff and the class members will have to deal with the danger of identity thieves possessing and misusing their personal information,” the Umpqua class action says. “Plaintiff and class members will have to spend time responding to the breach and are at an immediate, imminent, and heightened risk of all manners of identity theft as a direct and proximate result of the data breach.”
Umpqua Bank should have kept data more secure, class action claims
On or around May 27, Clop began a hacking campaign against MOVEit that was widespread and caused data breaches across the marketplace, the Umpqua Bank class action claims.
It was the responsibility of Umpqua Bank to ensure that MOVEit would keep the data secure but Umpqua failed in that duty, the Umpqua class action claims, and it became the victim of a cyber attack that also impacted many other companies.
Approximately 612,000 Medicare beneficiaries also allegedly had their personal information compromised in a data breach from MOVEit, according to a release from the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
