Federal Judge Rules Sony Plaintiffs Have Standing in Breach Lawsuit


A federal judge in California has denied an attempt by Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc. to dismiss a class-action lawsuit brought by nine employees who claim the company’s lack of adequate cybersecurity caused a massive breach that exposed financial, health and other personally identifiable information of at least 15,000 current and former Sony employees.

Sony had argued the employees lacked Article III standing because the employees failed to allege injury.
