"A class action that an attorney claimed might bankrupt Missouri has been
settled for $90,000. U.S. District Judge Nanette Laughrey gave final
approval last week to the settlement between Missouri drivers and The
Source for Public Data and Shadowsoft.
Plaintiffs claimed The
Source for Public Data and Shadowsoft illegally obtained a database from
the Missouri Department of Motor Vehicles, with confidential
information about Missouri drivers, and sold it to third parties,
violating the Federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act.
Ten employees of the Missouri Department of Motor Vehicles were named as defendants. The state itself could not be sued.
The
settlement "requires the return of all personal information that is in
the possession of Shadowsoft and Source for Public Data. It prevents
further reselling of such information and greatly reduces the risk of
identity theft and the illegal use of such information from Missouri
drivers," court papers state."
