Class-Action Lawsuit Filed Against Schwab and TD Ameritrade

From the desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law 

Charles Schwab and TD Ameritrade face a lawsuit for a data breach connected to the ongoing cyberattack targeting the MOVEit file-transfer software.

The lawsuit alleges that Schwab and TD Ameritrade took nine weeks to inform 61,000 Schwab customers about the hack. The Cl0P ransomware gang orchestrated the attack on the MOVEit file transfer system this year. KonBriefing Research has received reports of MOVEit-related breaches from at least 734 organizations, impacting approximately 43 million individuals. According to ThinkAdvisor, the class-action lawsuit against Schwab and TD emerges with less than two weeks remaining before the scheduled transition of TD Ameritrade advisors and their clients' accounts to the Charles Schwab platform.

Jim, Stephany and the whole team were a God send.  We felt like we were put into a situation where we had no advocate. Jim’s team came in with a strong, well laid out strategy on how to get our story heard. Where our outside compliance company had no ability to help, our Broker Dealer was impenitent, and the regulators were aggressive pursuing vague rules, Jim came like a barricade against an assault we did not understand. Though you pay member dues to be affiliated with FINRA and a B/D, you have no voice. The only thing that is truly heard in this un-level playing field is a bulldog’s bark like Jim’s. I would encourage anyone to call Jim and his team to find a real ally in the tough and complicated world of securities regulation. They are truly the best.
