A former employee has filed a class action lawsuit against Ceva Logistics, alleging the freight giant failed to protect highly sensitive personal information stolen during a recent cyberattack that impacted operations in Europe.
Hackers gained access to Ceva Logistics systems and data in late July, which disrupted operations at eight warehouses that provide store replenishment and e-commerce fulfillment for retailers in the Netherlands and other European countries, as FreightWaves reported. The legal action suggests that customers were not the only ones affected by the data breach.
Why It Matters: France-based Ceva is one of the largest third-party logistics providers, with more than 1,000 warehouses worldwide. Last year the company generated $18.3 billion in revenue.
Kevin Krupa, a former employee, sued Ceva Logistics late last month in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, in Houston, where Ceva's U.S. headquarters is located.
The complaint alleges that the personal information of employees, including bank account details and social security numbers, was stolen during the cyber intrusion, which never would have happened had the company taken appropriate precautions following a similar incident a year earlier.
