- Class Action Notice: Kahn Swick & Foti reminds investors who purchased Coupang shares between August 6 and December 16, 2025, that they must file lead plaintiff applications by February 17, 2026, to participate in a class action lawsuit aimed at recovering economic losses due to a data breach.
- Data Breach Allegations: Coupang is accused of failing to disclose critical information, specifically that inadequate cybersecurity protocols allowed a former employee to access sensitive customer data for nearly six months undetected, thereby exposing the company to heightened legal and regulatory risks.
- Legal Implications: The lawsuit charges the company and certain executives with violating federal securities laws by not reporting the data breach to the SEC in a timely manner, resulting in materially false and misleading public statements throughout the class period.
- Case Background: The case, titled Barry v. Coupang, Inc., et al., No. 25-cv-10795, indicates that investors are seeking compensation for losses incurred due to corporate mismanagement, highlighting significant concerns regarding corporate governance and transparency.
