ParkMobile Breach Exposes License Plate Data, Mobile Numbers of 21M Users

No notification from ParkMobile on the breach to their customers. Wonder what class-action lawsuits that might trigger.

“It’s also curious that ParkMobile hasn’t asked or forced its users to change their passwords as a precautionary measure. I used the ParkMobile app to reset my password, but there was no messaging in the app that suggested this was a timely thing to do.”

More importantly, can we sue the local government for negligence if they continue to require people to use this app?

Strip away the money we pay in taxes for something that is clearly not their fault?

Municipal governments are the ones pushing it (usually) without alternative so they are at least partially at fault.

I don't think that is accurate. I got a notification from the app on iOS today.
