Case Overview

6 Americans sued Elon Musk, OPM, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and the Treasury Department over the disclosure of personal and financial information to Musk and DOGE-affiliated personnel. Plaintiffs contend this disclosure violates the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Privacy Act and request that the court certify the case as a class action, enjoin defendants from further violations of CFAA and require defendants to pay money damages.

Plaintiffs alleged that OPM and Treasury Department officials disclosed their personal and financial information to Musk and DOGE-affiliated personnel without authorization, potentially violating both the CFAA and Privacy Act.

The Conclusion

Judge Christopher R. Cooper ruled on the CFAA and Privacy Act violations, class certification motion, and requests for injunctive relief and monetary damages.
