The lawsuit was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Madison. The plaintiffs are seeking restitution for customers and compensation for banks that are re-issuing cards and monitoring bank accounts for fraud.
The breach gave hackers access to information credit and debit cards and personal data for about 70 million customers.
