The lawsuit paints a grim picture, with Werley and others ensnared in a web of uncertainty. Hackers, portrayed as digital hunters, might bide their time before exploiting the stolen treasure trove, thereby making the victims’ agony prolonged and uncertain.
The Lingering Effects of a Breach
The aftershocks of such a breach are manifold. From the looming threat of fraudulent accounts and deceptive tax filings to the less tangible but equally menacing influx of spam calls, victims find themselves in a maze of digital peril. The complaint underscores the multi-year aftermath of such breaches, where vigilance becomes a persistent shadow in victims’ lives.
Silence from Orrick and Echoes from the Past
While Orrick’s representatives remain tight-lipped, Werley’s counsel is yet to release a statement. This data breach narrative isn’t unique to Orrick; reminiscent of the past, Ohio’s Marshall & Melhorn LLC too faced a class-action storm post a 2021 breach.
The Legal Battleground
Robert S. Green of Green & Noblin PC and William B. Federman of Federman & Sherwood stand united, representing Werley and the proposed class. Orrick’s defense details remain shrouded in mystery.
