Well, careful. If victims need to demonstrate actual financial loss, fraudulent charges covered by the credit card company may not be considered. That being said, let's look at what we know about choicepoint: . Fined $10M by FTC for violating fair credit reporting act, and $5M trust fund for consumer redress, . $500k toward public education campaigns about identity theft . Paid $500k for state legal fees . $10M shareholder lawsuit For a total of $26M (from around 160k records) So the claim of 1800 reported cases of identity theft (which may or may not have resulted in actual loss) may be the least of their worries. cheers, sasha

SupermarketsFile Class Action Suit Let's also consider the possibility the Hannaford WAS using the tool correctly, and that it just didn't work as advertised. As far as the law firm being on the ball, trust me, they are. I know this firm well, and they will absolutely include Rapid7 in their discovery process. If I was senior management at Rapid7, I would NOT be sleeping well right now. The kiss of death in this case is going to be the fact that there have been around 1800 reported cases of fraud stemming from the incident. This was not an accident.

Supermarkets FileClass Action Suit This could not be a better example of why companies hesitate to disclose details. If this lawfirm is on the ball. They will get access to the exchange with Rapid7 which, according to the press release changes, indicates potential additional negligence in that the had a tool that may have prevented this problem and failed to use it properly. Not a helpful disclosure for Hannaford with respect to the class action.
