Dollar Tree Faces Lawsuit Over Data Breach Impacting Employees

A former Dollar Tree employee is suing the company in a potential class action lawsuit, alleging that the company failed to notify nearly 2 million people about a data breach that occurred earlier this year. The breach, which exposed personal information such as names, dates of birth, and social security numbers, was reportedly discovered in August, but those affected were not notified until several months later. The lawsuit also claims that Dollar Tree did not implement adequate security measures to protect the information. The plaintiff is seeking compensatory damages, with the amount to be determined later.
