Q: looking for a lawyer to bring litigation against Mr Cooper (mortgage) who was negligent in protecting SSN & bank info.
Mr Cooper lost the personal data including SSN, Bank Info, Addresses, Driver License info, etc of all of their current & past customers due to cyber security negligence. Additionally, their response to the incident was to provide a few year of credit monitoring through Transunion, which is insulting with the magnitude of the sensitive data they lost. This data in the hands of hackers now puts me at risk for the rest of my life for identity theft & fraud. I am looking to file a lawsuit directly against them (not interested in joining a class action).

A:
Unauthorized disclosure of protected information happens when your private information is shared with a third party without your consent and a third party that did not have a business relation with Mr. Cooper. Otherwise, the fact that it was "lost" does not mean much. It must be SEEN by somebody unauthorized to see it.
Good luck.
