GE/Canon Business Process Services Data Breach Litigation
General Electric employees and former employees sued GE and Canon Business Process Services for exposing their personal information in a data breach. In March 2020, GE revealed that an unauthorized party gained access to an email account at the Canon subsidiary that contained a trove of sensitive personal data disclosed on benefits documents, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, bank account numbers, passport numbers, and dates of birth.
