- Lawsuit Initiation: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman has filed a class action lawsuit against Coupang, alleging violations of federal securities laws on behalf of all investors who purchased Coupang securities between August 6, 2025, and December 16, 2025.
- Data Breach Risks: The complaint alleges that Coupang's inadequate cybersecurity protocols allowed a former employee to access sensitive customer information for nearly six months undetected, significantly increasing the company's exposure to regulatory and legal scrutiny.
- Disclosure Failures: When the company became aware of the data breach, it failed to file a current report with the SEC as required, resulting in public statements being materially false or misleading at all times.
- Investor Losses: As the true details emerged, investors suffered damages, and the law firm encourages affected investors to apply to be lead plaintiffs by February 17, 2026, to participate in any potential recovery.
