Deloitte faces class action lawsuits for RIBridges cyberattack
A class action lawsuit has been filed in response to the recent cyberattack on Rhode Island’s Bridges system. The attack, which occurred several weeks ago, compromised sensitive information of thousands of residents.
The lawsuit alleges that the state did not take adequate measures to protect this information, putting individuals at risk of identity theft and financial harm. It seeks compensation for those affected and aims to hold the state accountable for the breach.
The cyberattack on Bridges, which is used to process social services benefits, has raised concerns about the security of sensitive data held by government agencies. It serves as a reminder of the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in today’s digital age.
If you believe you may have been affected by the breach, it is important to monitor your financial accounts for any suspicious activity. You may also consider placing a fraud alert on your credit report to protect against identity theft.
As the investigation into the cyberattack continues, more information is expected to come to light. In the meantime, individuals are encouraged to stay vigilant and take steps to safeguard their personal information.
