What happened
In September 2024, Electronics for Imaging, Inc., a printing technology company, experienced a targeted cyberattack on its computer systems. Files accessed may have contained names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, photo IDs or driver's licenses, and Social Security numbers. This lawsuit, Hibbard, et al. v. Electronics for Imaging, Inc., claims EFI failed to adequately protect that information and is pending in the Merrimack County Superior Court in New Hampshire.
EFI denies wrongdoing, and the Court has not decided who is right. Both sides agreed to settle to avoid the costs and risks of trial.
