Ambry Genetics Class Action Data Breach Lawsuit Filed

Plaintiffs Alma Fidela Cercas of California, and Kaitlyn Nakagoshi of Florida, and Judy Anne Grause of Virginia, filed a class action lawsuit accusing Ambry Genetics Corp. of exposing their personal data and protected health information, along with 230,000 other patients.

Olson of Robinson Calcagnie, Inc.; and Jean Martin, John A. Yanchunis and Ryan J.
