Our own <a href="http://www.bakerlaw.com/JudySelby">Judy Selby </a>has a new piece out on Law360 analyzing standing for data breach class cases after the Supreme Court's decision in Clapper:  "<a href="http://www.law360.com/privacy/articles/529877/no-data-misuse-no-standing-for-data-breach-plaintiffs">No Data Misuse? No Standing For Data Breach Plaintiffs</a>."  Judy's piece highlights the challenges that face data breach plaintiffs post-Clapper, but also points out that:
<blockquote>The continued proliferation of data breaches is sure to be followed by a concomitant proliferation of lawsuits by data breach victims. In fact, the surge of recent cases has shown no signs of stopping, with the Southern District of Florida recently approving a $3 million data breach class action settlement against a health insurer, even without allegations that the plaintiffs’ data had been misused, and nearly 70 class actions being filed against Target Corp. based on its recent data breach.</blockquote>
We have and will continue to cover Clapper and its impact on privacy and data breach litigation.
