Hi listmates, A client's employee clicked a phishing link in an email which, predictably, caused the same email to be sent to several hundred recipients, including a number of the client's customers and vendors. The client immediately contained the threat and reset the relevant email account. The client is trying to determine if this constitutes a "data breach" giving rise to notice requirements, etc. My understanding is that this is a state-by-state exercise, and of course there may be additional contractual obligations. Is anyone here familiar with this type of matter and might be willing to help? Please email and I will forward responses to the client. Many thanks Jon *Jonathan L.
