The suit, which seeks class-action status, was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court last Friday and claims that for at least five months, the company failed to adequately protect people's financial records and confidential information.
It also claims that prospective class members, possibly numbering at least 145,000 in total, have suffered damages of less than $75,000 each.
I'm not sure how much money the company brought in last year but they may want to set some aside if this suit goes through.

The suit seeks to represent anyone whose personal records were maintained by ChoicePoint from October 2004 through the completion of the suit, regardless of whether or not that data was actually released to anyone.
