The 43-page Tandym Group data breach lawsuit alleges the company’s failure to safeguard identifiable personal information is the reason an employee’s Microsoft Outlook account and the iSolved system were breached on May 30, 2023. The case relays that Tandym Group partners with more than 35,000 companies for staffing services.
According to the complaint, Tandym Group began sending a data breach notice to victims around April 5, 2024, nearly a year later. Per the suit, names, Social Security numbers and other personal information may have been impacted by the breach.
“The Data Breach was a direct result of Defendant’s failure to implement adequate and reasonable cyber-security procedures and protocols necessary to protect individuals’ Private Information with which it was hired to protect,” the data breach lawsuit claims.

Per the suit, Tandym Group issued a data breach notice in February 2021 over an incident that involved information similar to that compromised in the May 2023 data breach. The case contends that the possibility of the improper disclosure of Tandym Group data was a “known risk” for the company, especially considering the 2021 data breach.
The lawsuit alleges that the identities of proposed class members are now at risk due to Tandym Group’s “negligent conduct” and that consumers must now and in the future closely monitor their accounts to guard against fraud.
“The risk of identity theft is not speculative or hypothetical but is impending and has materialized as there is evidence that the Plaintiff’s and Class Members’ Private Information was targeted, accessed, has been misused, and disseminated on the Dark Web.”
The Tandym Group data breach lawsuit looks to cover all individuals in the United States whose private information was compromised in the Tandym Group data breach that occurred on or around May 18, 2023.
