The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced a tentative settlement with online alcohol delivery platform Drizly and its chief executive officer regarding a data breach affecting 2.5 million consumers and the alleged lax security that allowed it to happen.
The proposed order, released Monday, will be printed in the Federal Register and subjected to a 30-day comment period, after which the FTC may decide to accept it and make it final or withdraw from it.
The agency highlighted the inclusion of Drizly CEO James Cory Rellas in its proposed order for his role in presiding over the company’s alleged security failures.
