Samsung is facing a class action suit over a recent data breach

• Samsung is being sued for failing to notify affected customers of a July data breach.
• The incident was discovered in August, but it took Samsung a month to inform customers about the incident.
• Some 3,000 consumers were impacted by the breach.

Companies that are involved in cyber attacks should make public the incidents so that they don't face legal ramifications.

A complaint has been filed against the company over a recent data hack. Customer information, including names, birthdays, contact information, and product registration information, was stolen by an unauthorized third party.

The hack was discovered on August 4 and the company did not inform consumers until a month later.

The complaint, which was filed at the U.S. District Court for Nevada, alleges thatSamsung neglected its duty as a collector of personal information by not reporting the incident to affected customers. More than 3000 customers were affected by the incident.

The company said that it began sending emails to customers whose information was stolen. The investigation is still under way, according to the company. Law enforcement has been contacted by the company.

While the company is working to address the incident, it may have done so too late and could face a class action suit.

The South Korean tech giant has fallen prey to cyberattacks before. In March of last year, a hacking group leaked a huge amount of data from the company.
