U.S. Federal District Court Judge Dismisses Much of SEC’s Claims Against SolarWinds and its CISO Relating to SUNBURST Cybersecurity Attack

On Thursday, July 18, 2024, Judge Paul Engelmayer, U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York, dismissed the bulk of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC’s) landmark civil securities law claims against SolarWinds and its Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Timothy Brown.  The Court dismissed all allegations based on SolarWinds’ public disclosures made after SolarWinds became a victim of the well-publicized SUNBURST cybersecurity attack, and also dismissed the SEC’s claims relating to SolarWinds’ internal accounting controls and disclosure controls and procedures.  However, the Court declined to dismiss claims of securities fraud against SolarWinds and its CISO based on SolarWinds’ pre-SUNBURST disclosures, finding that the SEC had properly pleaded that the company’s publicly-posted “Security Statement” was materially false and misleading.

FTC Proposes Modifications to Strengthen COPPA Regulations

On January 11, 2024, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) published in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“NPRM”) to modify the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule (“COPPA Rule”), a set of regulations implementing the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) statute. Overall, the NPRM seeks to strengthen and clarify the COPPA Rule in response to technological advances and changes in the way children interact with online offerings. In particular, the NPRM follows a public comment period in which the FTC noted novel issues affecting the COPPA Rule, including the educational technology sector, voice-enabled connected devices, and platforms directed to general audiences that host third-party content directed to children. Comments on the NPRM are due on March 11, 2024.

The First Text Cuts the Deepest: Eleventh Circuit Aligns with Other Circuits on TCPA Standing

On July 24, 2023, an en banc Eleventh Circuit joined the majority of circuits to find that just one text is sufficient to establish standing to bring a Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) claim. The decision, Drazen v. Pinto, --- F.4th ---, 2023 WL 4699939 (11th Cir. July 24, 2023), not only undoes the panel’s original holding, but also reverses course from the Eleventh Circuit’s prior decision in Salcedo v. Hanna, 936 F.3d 1162 (11th Cir. 2019), which held that a Plaintiff who received a single text message did not have TCPA standing.
