A second class action lawsuit has been filed against Columbia Orthopaedic Group following a data leak.
The suit alleges that Columbia Orthopaedic Group did not do enough to protect patients’ personal information. The plaintiff in this new case is listed as Geraldine Mize.
This is the second lawsuit to say that a ransomeware-for-hire group called Lockbit5 stole patients’ private information. They accuse Columbia Orthopaedic Group of negligence, negligence per se, breach of implied conduct, unjust enrichment and violating the Missouri Merchandising Act.
