Two SAG-AFTRA members have sued the actors guild’s health plan over a data breach that occurred in September, claiming those in charge failed to protect members’ data or even notify them of the breach in a timely manner.
The lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court of Central California on Thursday and obtained by TheWrap, charges the SAG-AFTRA health plan with negligence, deceit by concealment and violation of the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act, among other counts.
The plaintiffs, Matthew Robillard and Kristy Munden, claim that the health plan went three months without informing members of a successful email phishing scam that exposed the personal information of an unknown number of SAG-AFTRA health plan recipients.
