Class-Action Lawsuit

Honda Canada is facing a $200 million dollar class action lawsuit over a privacy breach that was reporter earlier this year. Affected Honda customers are suing Honda over hacked documents that left their identity, bank account numbers and debit/credit cards vulnerable to theft. They believe Honda failed to adequately protect clients' personal and confidential information and failed to notify customers immediately. Honda announced on May 13th that 283 000 customers had their personal information stolen after unknown third parties gained illegal data access to myHonda/myAcura websites. Financial records reportedly were not taken but the compromised data includes names and vehicle VIN numbers. A representative of the legal rights company at the head of the lawsuit believes that Honda Canada should've learnt its lesson after Honda USA was breached last December in a similar hacking. Honda Canada was not aware of this lawsuit at time of the report.
