SAN FRANCISCO — The lead lawyers in a data-breach suit against Adobe Systems Inc. have agreed to drop demands for monetary relief and resolve claims in exchange for the company adopting enhanced security measures. The no-cash deal, disclosed in a 17-page filing Tuesday evening, is subject to approval from U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh of the Northern District of California, who allowed the lawsuit to go forward in a ruling last September.
Though the Adobe breach compromised the personal information and credit card data of millions of consumers, plaintiffs lawyers led by Eric Gibbs of Girard Gibbs said their investigation showed “little to no evidence of actual damage or identity theft suffered by Adobe customers.”
