Was this a ransomware attack?

The filing does not say ransomware was involved. We do not label an incident ransomware unless the company’s report says so. Whatever the cause, the steps to protect yourself and the legal question are the same.

Can I sue Sher Tremonte LLP over the data breach?
It depends on what was exposed, the law in California and your own state, and whether you've been harmed. Most people take part through a class action rather than suing alone. Keep your notification letter — it's the proof that connects you to the breach.
Do I need a Sher Tremonte LLP data breach lawyer or attorney?

How much could a Sher Tremonte LLP data breach settlement or claim be worth?
There is no set amount, and no Sher Tremonte LLP settlement is confirmed here.
