The persons who sued is called the “Plaintiff,” and the company sued, Rödl Management, Inc., is known as the “Defendant” in this case. Plaintiffs filed the Lawsuit against Defendant, on behalf of themselves and anyone whose Personal Identifiable Information was potentially impacted as a result of the Data Security Incident.

This investigation determined that the unauthorized actor was able to access information belonging to Plaintiffs and Settlement Class Members in Defendant’s systems between approximately January 30th, 2024, and February 9th, 2024. This Lawsuit was subsequently filed, asserting claims against Defendant relating to this Data Security Incident. Defendant denies any wrongdoing.
