The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday ruled that two groups of federal workers can move forward with their class action lawsuits against the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) over a 2015 data breach that exposed the personal information of 22 million people.According to the appeals court, the data breach left the plaintiffs vulnerable to identity theft, a substantial and ongoing “injury” that can be traced back to OPM’s failure to adequately safeguard its systems.
