Edelson Lechtzin LLP Probes Paidwork Data Exposure
A massive cache of user data linked to the gig economy platform Paidwork surfaced online this July, prompting a formal investigation by national class action firm Edelson Lechtzin LLP. Hackers claim they extracted 11 gigabytes of sensitive information from the site following an initial breach report earlier this spring.
Edelson Lechtzin LLP is currently evaluating legal claims for affected users to determine if a class action lawsuit is warranted. Attorneys at the firm recommend that anyone who utilized the platform for tasks, surveys, or games monitor their financial statements and credit reports for unauthorized activity. Individuals seeking a confidential case evaluation can contact the firm's Newtown, Pennsylvania, office at 844-696-7492.
