Two proposed class actions have been filed in federal court in Massachusetts against Mapfre U.S.A. Corp. and its affiliate Commerce Insurance Co. over a recent data breach that one of the lawsuits contends may have exposed customer data for more than 260,000 individuals.
The suits blame the property/casualty insurer’s online quoting platform for allegedly automatically populating an individual’s driver’s license number and other information for anyone entering a bare minimum of publicly available information about that individual.
