The lawsuits allege that Coupang failed to disclose a data breach that exposed sensitive customer information for nearly six months, subjecting the company to heightened regulatory and legal scrutiny.

Why it matters

The data breach and subsequent lawsuits highlight the importance of robust cybersecurity protocols and timely disclosure of such incidents by public companies. Investors are seeking to recover losses stemming from Coupang's alleged failure to properly address and report the breach.

The details

The lawsuits allege that Coupang and certain executives failed to disclose that the company had inadequate cybersecurity protocols, which allowed a former employee to access sensitive customer information for nearly six months without detection. When the company became aware of the breach, it allegedly did not report it in a timely manner as required by SEC regulations.

  • The class period for the lawsuits is from May 7, 2025 to December 16, 2025.
  • Investors have until February 17, 2026 to file lead plaintiff applications in the class actions.
