The US Supreme Court to hear cases on the responsibility of the private sector regarding data breaches and hacking

Nov, 13, 2023 Hi-network.com
The US Supreme Court is scheduled to hear two cases related to a question as to whether consumers must suffer financial or physical harm before they may demand compensation for a data breach or for vulnerabilities in products allowing hacking. The first case, FCA US LLC, et al., v. Brian Flynn, et al. concerns the hacking vulnerability of Jeep Cherokee vehicles, specifically where the vehicle breaks were hacked through the entertainment system. In the second case, Zappos.com, Inc. v. Stevens, the online retailer suffered a malicious breach to its consumer database. In both cases no harm ensued to the consumers. Upon the decision of these cases, the verdict of the US Supreme Court would reshape the responsibility of the private sector over the security of internet connected products that could potentially endanger customers' wellbeing or privacy.
