Two from Texas sue IRS over data breach

-

Two Texas women have sued the Internal Revenue Service in Washington over a data breach.

Becky Welborn of Dripping Springs and Wendy Windrich of Conroe are seeking to represent anyone whose informatio­n was stolen after using the IRS “Get Transcript” service that allow taxpayers to get informatio­n on their own filings. They’re also asking for unspecifie­d money damages.

The agency announced the incursion in May. The agency recently revised its estimate of the number of people affected to 330,000.

It declined to comment on the lawsuit.
