Planet 13 lawsuit spotlights cannabis industry data security risks
Original: Planet 13 data breach lawsuit highlights cannabis industry ID security risks
A lawsuit over a data breach at Planet 13, the Las Vegas-based cannabis dispensary operator, is drawing attention to how cannabis companies handle customer identification data. Because US dispensaries must collect government ID details from shoppers, they hold sensitive records with limited federal data protection oversight, and the case is prompting debate about weak security practices across the legal cannabis industry.
Why now: The lawsuit raises concerns about how legal cannabis businesses store the sensitive customer ID data they are required to collect.
