On June 6, 2018, the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
vacated the FTC's order directing a
laboratory services company to implement a variety of data security
measures. The FTC's initial order followed an investigation
into the alleged exposure of 9,300 consumers' personal
information on a file-sharing site. On appeal, the Eleventh Circuit
found the order unenforceable because it "does not enjoin a
specific act or practice" and instead mandates a
"complete overhaul" of the company's data security
program without sufficient specificity.
