The 36-page lawsuit says that Mac Pizza, which operates nearly a hundred Domino’s Pizza locations around southeast Texas, discovered in mid-April of this year that an unauthorized third party had gained access to its computer network from April 14 to April 22.
The suit relays that the data breach compromised current and former employees’ private information, including at least names, Social Security numbers and driver’s license numbers.
Mac Pizza failed to implement adequate cybersecurity measures to protect the confidential data stored in its systems, the case argues, adding that had the company complied with industry standards and followed the recommendations of data security experts, it could have prevented the unauthorized disclosure of class members’ information.
The complaint also takes issue with the defendant’s delayed notification of data breach victims. Although Mac Pizza purportedly detected the cyberattack on April 17, notices were not sent to impacted individuals until early July, almost three months later, the filing shares.
The plaintiffs, two former employees residing in Texas, both received notice on July 10 informing them that their personal information had been compromised in the breach, the suit says. Shortly after being notified, one plaintiff was alerted by his credit monitoring service that his email and Social Security number were for sale on the dark web, the case relays.
Like other victims, the plaintiffs are now at an increased risk of identity theft and fraud as a result of Mac Pizza’s negligence, the complaint charges.
The lawsuit looks to represent anyone in the United States who was impacted by the Mac Pizza data breach, including those who were sent a notice of the incident.
