Consumer Sues Lenovo (Canada) Inc. for Breach of Contract and Breach of Privacy Over Malicious Software

Posted on March 17, 2015 by pogowasright.org

From a press release announcing the lawsuit:

A class action lawsuit seeking $10 million in damages on behalf of Canadian consumers who purchased Lenovo computers that came with pre-installed Superfish software (“Superfish“) was launched March 11, 2015 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

As stated in the claim, “Superfish is potentially dangerous and may allow anyone on a Wi-Fi network to hijack the user’s browser and collect his or her bank credentials, passwords, and other highly sensitive information.”

Thanks to the Canadian reader who sent this in.
