Karla Grossenbacher authored an article in Law360, “OPM Breach Provides Lessons For Employers”

Karla Grossenbacher authored an article on July 7 in Law360 on the recent lawsuit filed by the American Federation of Government Employees against the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and KeyPoint Government Solutions, on behalf of two named plaintiffs and a putative class of 18 million current and former employees and prospective employees of the federal government whose personally identifiable information was put at risk by a massive data breach suffered by OPM. With the ingenuity and determination of hackers growing at an exponential rate, Grossenbacher says every employer should have a sophisticated and integrated program in place that addresses both data security measures and the steps they will follow when or if those measures fail.
