Judge Dismisses Class Action Suit Against eBay Over Data Breach

U.S. District Judge Susan Morgan of the Eastern District of Louisiana has dropped a proposed class action suit against eBay over a data breach. The judge ruled that the plaintiffs failed to show how they were injured by the hack. The plaintiffs had argued that the 2014 data breach, which exposed their personal data would leave them open to future harm. "The mere fact that plaintiff's information was accessed during the data breach is insufficient to establish injury-in-fact," the judge wrote in her dismissal.
