Nearly 180 Plaintiffs in 50 States Sue Marriott Over Breach Notification

Marriott erred in taking nearly three months to alert customers about its data breach (see 1901040048), nearly 180 plaintiffs from 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands said in a lawsuit Wednesday. Plaintiffs have evidence of fraud allegedly linked to the breach, said Hausfeld's James Pizzirusso: It took Marriott four years to discover the breach on Sept. 8. The lawsuit is in U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, Maryland (docket 19-cv-00094). Monday, Marriott declined comment.
