Atomic Wallet asks US court to dismiss class action lawsuit over $100 million hack

The company behind the crypto wallet Atomic Wallet is asking a U.S. court to dismiss a class-action lawsuit seeking $100 million in damages from hackers. The company said it had no ties to the United States and that claims should be filed in Estonia, its headquarters. Atomic Wallet said only one user in Colorado was affected, but that user was not affected. The 5,500 affected Atomic Wallet users agreed to its terms of service, which explicitly disclaim liability for losses caused by theft and limit losses to $50 per user. Atomic said the plaintiffs’ negligence claims also lacked legal merit because they never established a legal obligation to maintain the security of Atomic’s wallet and prevent hackers. (Cointelegraph)
