A class action lawsuit has been filed against the Coca-Cola Company, which is based in Atlanta . The lawsuit is in response to a data breach at Fairlife, a dairy company owned by Coca-Cola. Current and former employees of Coca-Cola and Fairlife are suing, claiming their personal information was not properly secured.
The data breach occurred due to a ransomware attack, which was announced by Coca-Cola in mid-July.
