--Honda Canada Facing Class Action Lawsuit Following Breach (June 1, 2011) Lawyers representing Honda Canada customers have filed a class action lawsuit against the automobile company over a data security breach that compromised information belonging to 283,000 customers. The breach occurred in March 2011, but Honda Canada did not start notifying customers until May. The compromised information included names, addresses, vehicle identification numbers (VINs) and Honda Financial Services account numbers stored on personalized web pages. Some customers who never entered the information are affected by the breach because the company pre-populated pages with customer data before asking them to customize their own pages.
