These files may have contained personal information such as names; dates of birth; addresses; Social Security numbers; drivers’ license numbers or other government-issued identification numbers; medical information; health insurance information; and financial account information.
The lawsuit is called Allison Archer v. Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, Case No. CACE-26-011734. It is pending in the Circuit Court for Broward County, Florida (the “Litigation”).
