New York Attorney General Letitia James today secured $250,000 from a global movie theater operator, National Amusements, Inc. (National Amusements), that operates movie theaters in the Bronx and on Long Island for failing to protect their former and current employees and contractors’ personal information. An investigation by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) determined that National Amusements failed to implement strong data security, which left it vulnerable to a data breach that compromised the information of more than 23,000 New York employees. The OAG’s investigation also revealed that the company delayed telling affected employees of the breach for more than a year, in violation of the New York Shield Act. As a result of today’s agreement, National Amusements has agreed to pay $250,000 in penalties to New York and update and improve their cybersecurity infrastructure to protect employee data.
