A lawsuit has been opened in the Supreme Court of Manhattan after the hacking of the New York institution. In particular, bank data and social security numbers were stolen.
The Met Opera reportedly did not inform potential victims of the intrusion and leak of personal data until May 3. For the lead plaintiff, Anthony Viti, a former Met Opera employee, the institution's handling of the attack was "woefully inadequate" "We take this incident and the security of the information in our charge very seriously," the Met Opera responded in a statement.
