On February 5, 2024, Gerson Lehrman Group, Inc. (“GLG”) detected suspicious activity on its computer network, indicating a data breach. Based on a subsequent forensic investigation, GLG determined that cybercriminals infiltrated the inadequately secured computer systems and thereby gained access to its sensitive files. The investigation further determined that, through this infiltration, cybercriminals gained access to files containing the sensitive personal information of 152,621 individuals.
The information exposed in the data breach includes, but is not limited to, names and Social Security numbers.
As a result of the data breach, these individuals’ personal and highly confidential information may be in the hands of cybercriminals who can place the information for sale on the dark web or use the information to perpetrate identity fraud.
Murphy Law Firm is investigating claims on behalf of all individuals whose personal and confidential information was potentially compromised in the data breach involving GLG. We are evaluating legal options, including a potential class action lawsuit, to recover damages for individuals who were affected by the data breach.
