Plaintiff Dismisses Class Action Vs. Athene Annuity Without Prejudice in MOVEit MDL

Noah Seiler voluntarily dismissed a negligence class action (docket 1:23-cv-12594) against Athene Annuity and Life Co. involving the MOVEit file transfer software data breach, said a Thursday notice (docket 3083) in In Re: MOVEit Customer Data Security Breach Litigation in U.S. District Court for Massachusetts in Boston. Individual and putative class claims are dismissed without prejudice, it said. In the September lawsuit, Seiler sued the defendant for a failure to properly secure his personally identifiable information (PII) in Progress Software Corp.’s (PSC) May MOVEit software data breach. Athene provided Seiler’s PII to Pension Benefits Information, which used PSC’s file transfer software, the complaint said.
