Lawsuit accuses University of Minnesota of not doing enough to prevent data breach

The lawsuit was filed by two former employees seeking compensation for damages and requesting class-action status for potential plaintiffs.
  • The university has acknowledged the breach and stated that the safety and privacy of everyone in the university community is a top priority. The FBI and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension are investigating the incident.
