Two More Courts Close the Doors on Data Breach Plaintiffs. [Post by Venkat] There are a slew of cases that reject data breach claims brought by plaintiffs who have not suffered out of pocket losses.
Recently, courts in Maine and Oregon joined the group of courts rejecting such claims. In re Hannaford Bros Co. Customer Data Security Breach Litigation, (Maine Supreme Court; Sept. 21, 2010): This is one of the cases arising out of the compromise of Hannaford Bros. computer system (which resulted in the theft of “up to 4.2 million debit and credit card numbers, expiration dates, security codes, PINs and other information”).

It's true there are risks to privacy in all data exchanges. But the answer to that is not to build a bridge to the 18th century. The time has come for the industry to face the real threat. HIPAA was a great victory for those activists, but it turned out to be a Pyrrhic one. It was a cynical law that only bred cynicism, which is how Luddism gains a foothold. But there will be many, many more information transactions, so there will be breaches.
