NEW YORK, March 10 (Reuters) - New York state sued Allstate ALL.N on Monday, accusing the insurer's National General unit of failing to report a data breach that exposed drivers' license numbers, and failing to develop reasonable safeguards to protect policyholders' private information.
The lawsuit by New York Attorney General Letitia James was filed in a state court in Manhattan.
