"The lawsuits allege Mercor's negligence could have resulted in the disclosure of Social Security numbers, addresses, and other information, including recordings of interviews, to bad actors."
"Mercor said last week that it was impacted by a breach of the open-source project LiteLLM, which was created by Berrie AI, without describing the stolen data."
"A lawsuit filed by NaTivia Esson states she trusted the company would use reasonable measures to protect her personal identifying information, which was compromised."
"One suit against Mercor also names Berrie AI and Delve Technologies, an 'automated compliance' firm that had previously certified Berrie's compliance."
Five lawsuits have been filed against Mercor, an AI training firm, for allegedly violating data privacy and consumer protection laws. The lawsuits claim negligence led to the potential exposure of sensitive information, including Social Security numbers. Mercor reported a breach linked to the open-source project LiteLLM, with hackers posting sample materials online. Lawsuits often follow data breaches, with settlements varying widely. One plaintiff expressed concerns over the time and money needed to address the breach's impact on her personal information.
