The Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) of approximately 10,000 past and present employees of Seagate Technology, a leading electronics and data storage solutions manufacturer, was handed over freely to cybercriminals. The information included W-2 forms, names of beneficiaries, social security numbers of employees and spouses, etc. Needless to say, the impacted people are not thrilled and have brought suit against Seagate for malpractice and a lack of regard for employees affected by the negligent handling of data.
