U.S. District Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis of the Eastern District of New York dismissed the suit in an April 30 opinion. The dismissal was without prejudice, meaning that the plaintiffs can file an amended complaint.
Garaufis said the plaintiffs failed to specify what security measures the ABA should have taken besides hashing and salting passwords.
Plaintiffs alleged breach of an implied contract to safeguard data and violation of state consumer fraud laws. They claimed the ABA did not comply with security standards and had a poorly managed IT department.
