RockYou Rocked by Class Action Lawsuit
January 15th, 2010
Last month RockYou was hit by a breach of user security flowing from a hack which exposed more than 30 million RockYou account user passwords and other information. Now this month a class action lawsuit has been filed by one of RockYou’s subscribers over the security breach. The suit, filed in federal district court, accuses the company of “failing to use hashing, salting or any other common and reasonable method of data protection and therefore drastically exacerbated the consequences of a hacker bypassing its outer layer of web security.”
