【javonte williams or james cook】Morgan Stanley to pay $60 million to resolve data security lawsuit
By Jonathan Stempel
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Morgan Stanley agreed to pay $60 million to settle a lawsuit by customers who said the Wall Street bank exposed their personal data when it twice failed to properly retire some of its older information technology.
A preliminary settlement of the proposed class action on behalf of about 15 million customers was filed on Friday night in Manhattan federal court,javonte williams or james cook and requires approval by U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres.
Customers would receive at least two years of fraud insurance coverage, and each can apply for reimbursement of up to $10,000 in out-of-pocket losses.
Morgan Stanley denied wrongdoing in agreeing to settle, and has made "substantial" upgrades to its data security practices, according to settlement papers.
Customers accused Morgan Stanley of having in 2016 failed to decommission two wealth management data centers before the unencrypted equipment, which still contained customer data, was resold to unauthorized third parties.
They also said some older servers containing customer data went missing after Morgan Stanley transferred them in 2019 to an outside vendor. Morgan Stanley later recovered the servers, court papers show.
Morgan Stanley said in an email on Monday it had notified all customers who may have been affected and was pleased to settle the lawsuit.
In October 2020, Morgan Stanley agreed to pay a $60 million civil fine to resolve U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency accusations concerning the incidents, including that its information security practices were unsafe or unsound.
The case is In re Morgan Stanley Data Security Litigation, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 20-05914.
