T-Mobile 2022 Customer Data Security Breach Litigation
The causation theory posits that the exposure of sensitive PII during the breach directly enabled malicious actors to exploit the data, leading to injuries such as identity theft, fraud, financial losses, and emotional distress. The breach's failure to prevent unauthorized access created a foreseeable risk of harm, which was realized through subsequent misuse of the exposed data.
