Transfer Warranted of Ark. Retirement System's MOVEit Data Breach Suit to MDL: PBI
Transfer of a negligence lawsuit brought by Arkansas Local Police and Fire Retirement System (LOPFI) v. Pension Benefit Information (PBI) to In Re: MOVEit Customer Data Security Breach Litigation is warranted because it shares common questions of fact with the cases in the MDL, and the transfer will promote judicial efficiency, said PBI's response (docket 3083) to LOPFI’s March notice of opposition (see 2403150006). PBI’s Monday response before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation said LOPFI’s motion to vacate fails to acknowledge the prior decisions and conclusions of the JPML in creating the MDL and omits that LOPFI’s claims vs. PBI all emanate from Progress Software’s May MOVEit file transfer software data breach. LOPFI’s complaint alleges PBI failed to protect and keep its members' personally identifiable information confidential during the breach.
