[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Colloton, Circuit Judge] Civil case - Class Actions. In an action by consumers whose credit card information was stolen during security breaches of defendants' databases alleging defendants took inadequate steps to protect customers' credit and debit card information, with the exception of one plaintiff, the sixteen plaintiffs have not alleged that they have suffered fraudulent charges on their credit or debit cards or that fraudulent accounts have been opened in their names and, as a result, they have not alleged a substantial risk of future identity theft and do not have standing; one plaintiff has, however, alleged a present injury by alleging he suffered a fraudulent charge on his credit card; this constitutes identity theft and is an actual, concrete and particularized injury; by alleging an injury in fact, traceable to defendant's security practices and likely to be redressed by a favorable judgment, this plaintiff has Article III standing, and his case should be permitted to proceed.
