Court Orders Dismissal of D-Link Corp. from FTC Data Security Case

Cause of Action Institute Assistant Vice President Patrick Massari: "The FTC sued a Taiwanese-based corporation without any factual predicate or consumer victims, real or imagined, exceeding the bounds of its regulatory authority. We are grateful for the Court's directive and pleased with this resolution of issues raised by D-Link Corp.'s motion to dismiss.  We look forward to continuing to vigorously defend this case on behalf of D-Link Systems, Inc."

Background:

In early January, the FTC filed a complaint against D-Link Systems Inc. and D-Link Corp. The complaint makes vague and unsubstantiated allegations, without asserting a single data breach of any product sold in the U.S. by either company. Instead, the FTC's complaint relies on unspecified press reports and mere speculation that consumers were placed "at risk," but fails to allege, as it must, that consumers suffered or are likely to suffer actual or substantial injury. D-Link Systems continues to stand behind its products and maintains a robust range of procedures to address potential security vulnerabilities.
