The California Privacy Protection Agency has initiated an investigative sweep to ensure data brokers comply with registration requirements. This announcement follows a significant data breach in Columbus, Ohio, where 500,000 residents were notified of a ransomware attack. Additionally, a precious-metal refiner is facing a class action lawsuit related to a cyber-attack that occurred in 2023. In a related development, Florida-based law firm Gunster has reached an $8.5 million settlement over a proposed class action stemming from a 2022 data breach, where plaintiffs alleged inadequate protection of personal information.
