3 Points. U S Supreme Court. Health Care. Data Breach. What you Need to Know to be Informed.

The U.S. Supreme Court refused to grant review of CAREFIRST, INC., ET AL. V. ATTIAS, CHANTAL, ET AL which concerns:

• whether to bring a data security lawsuit, is actual harm or the possibility of harm required?
• the U.S. Supreme Court refusal left in place a standard  set by the U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbiath that the possibility of harm is enough
• the burning question- is it up to the courts to hold entities responsible for safe keeping data?
