What Is the Case About?
Flagstar Bank experienced two data breaches in 2021 — first via the Accellion file-sharing platform in January 2021 (about 1.47 million people), then a December 2021 breach expanding the total to roughly 2.19 million affected individuals. The lawsuit alleges Flagstar failed to adequately protect personal information and delayed breach notifications. Flagstar denies wrongdoing.
