About This Case
A class action lawsuit in the Ontario Superior Court against Intel, Microsoft, Lenovo, Apple, Dell, and Hewlett Packard. The claim stems from the recently disclosed and widespread “Spectre” and “Meltdown” defects, which allowed consumers’ private and confidential information to be made publicly available.
The claim alleges that Intel, as the manufacturer of CPU chips, and Microsoft, Lenovo, Apple, Dell, and Hewlett Packard computers containing Intel’s CPU chips, marketed these defective products to consumers that made their computers vulnerable to being hacked.
The claim alleges that all of the Defendants knew of the defect from at least June 2017. The claim also alleges that none of the Defendants warned consumers of this chip defect but rather continued to offer the defective CPUs and computers that used the defective CPU.
