Warner Music Group’s commercial websites were recently affected by huge hacks and now they are named in a class-action lawsuit over the issue.<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month it was discovered that Warner Music Group’s commercial websites had been hacked<\/a>. A major data breach had compromised the credit card details of an unspecified number of accounts across a number of websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warner Music Group apologised to their impacted customers after discovering the hack, which had reportedly been going on for months. With any number of personal details potentially stolen, WMG paid the cost of Kroll, an identity-monitoring service, and encouraged victims to use it within 12 months for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that for some customers, that isn’t enough from one of the 3 biggest record labels in the world. Digital Music News<\/a> have received a copy of a newly filed lawsuit which names WMG over the two plaintiffs reporting unapproved changes to their banking details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This follows another lawsuit facing Warner Music Group over the hacks. The previous lawsuit specifically targets Warner Music Group for failing to “secure and safeguard personal identifiable information”. That lawsuit states that potentially millions of transactions are now available to hackers with the potential to be sold on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a huge breach in data from one of the biggest industries in the world. We are yet to see the true fallout of this potential information theft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
