Prof. Vaaler Comments on Prospective Litigation Related to Ashley Madison Hack

Professor Paul Vaaler commented on prospective litigation issues related to the recent hack of confidential information for up to 33 million members of the Ashley Madison (A-M) on-line dating service for individuals seeking illicit affairs. The hack likely netted personal information, including member biographical information, photos and credit-card information. Vaaler commented on difficulties in suing A-M for breach of privacy, including difficulties in forming a class and persuading named class members to come forward, and difficulties in proving specific economic losses due to the breach. Vaaler comments on current business and legal issues every Wednesday morning on WCCO Radio's Dave Lee Show.
