Multiple class-action lawsuits have been filed against a Coral Springs-based data firm following disclosures that a massive data breach might have compromised billions of Americans’ personal information, including Social Security numbers.
Eight separate lawsuits have been filed in U.S. District Court in Fort Lauderdale since Aug. 1 against Jerico Pictures Inc., which does business as National Public Data. The company’s address is listed on the state Division of Corporations website as 1801 NW 126th Way in Coral Springs.
National Public Data has acknowledged the breach on its website, calling it a “data security incident” that stemmed from an attempted hack by a “third-party bad actor” in December 2023 and involved “potential leaks of certain data in April 2024 and summer 2024.”
