- Excerpt from LabMD Loses Another Round in Fight With FTC Over Data Security Authority:

The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court’s May ruling that it lacked jurisdiction over the Commission’s case against the company until a parallel administrative proceeding was complete. This decision presents yet another setback for the company in its challenge to the FTC’s authority over information security matters.
