Why it Matters?
Standing and injury remain the strongest defenses despite plaintiffs' improved pleading, since many class members suffered no misuse of their information and TransUnion requires concrete harm for each member seeking damages. Certification challenges follow, because individualized proof of injury and damages defeats predominance where the class includes unaffected individuals. Settlement structures with claims-made distributions reflect that low actual injury rate.
