READING — A Pennsylvania cloud-based computer storage company and the nationwide home health care provider it works with are facing a class action alleging they failed to give consumers proper notice of a 2019 data breach that compromised their personal information.
Lugenia Booker, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a complaint April 22 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Personal Touch Holding Corp., and Crossroads Technologies Inc., alleging negligence and other claims.
Booker alleges that as a result of a Dec. 1, ransomware attack on Crossroads' electronic medical records system that contained confidential medical data complied by Personal Touch, the plaintiffs suffered disruption of medical treatment and that their personal information remains compromised and at risk.
The plaintiffs seek monetary relief, trial by jury, interest and all other proper relief. They are represented by Charles Schaffer and David Magagna, Jr., of Levin, Sedran & Berman LLP in Philadelphia and Gary Mason and Avid Lietz of Mason Lietz & Klinger LLP in Washington, D.C.
