Milliman Solutions (docket 2:23-cv-01206), filed Aug. 8 in U.S. District Court for Western Washington in Seattle. The other related cases, in the same court, are Soto v. Milliman Solutions (docket 2:23-cv-01236), Jones v. Milliman Solutions (docket 2:23-cv-01246) and Gregory v. Milliman Solutions and TruStage Financial (docket 3:23-cv-00559).

Also Friday, Genworth Financial attorney Eamon Joyce of Sidley Austin filed a notice of related action (docket 3083) before the JPML for Herman Burkett Jr. v. Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance Co., in MOVEit Customer Data Security Breach Litigation. Defendant Herman Burkett of Dallas claims he suffered identity theft, fraud and harms he had no ability to mitigate due to Genworth’s “delayed notice” to customers about the late May MOVEit software data breach.
