The U.S. court is debating whether a class-action lawsuit over Coupang's data breach should be heard in the United States or Korea.Summary
A U.S. class-action lawsuit over Coupang's massive data breach faces a critical jurisdictional challenge as Judge Ann M. Donnelly questions whether the case belongs in the United States or Korea. Plaintiffs seek $5 million in damages alleging the platform failed to protect customer data, while defendants argue the breach occurred in Korea and that Coupang Inc. is legally separate from its Korean subsidiary. The court ordered additional arguments by October 6 to resolve the dispute, with potential outcomes determining whether the case proceeds in the U.S. or ends before addressing the merits.
