AT&T 提出動議駁回修訂後的加密貨幣投資者詐欺訴訟

Los Angeles, California - U.S. mobile communications behemoth AT&T has filed a motion to dismiss an amended lawsuit brought by cryptocurrency investor Mike Terpin, alleging that he fell victim to a malicious SIM-swap hack due to AT&T's negligence. AT&T contends that Terpin failed to adequately establish how the company concealed security flaws or misled him, and emphasizes that he admits to not having read relevant company documents.

加州洛杉磯 - 美國行動通訊巨頭 AT&T 已提出動議，駁回加密貨幣投資者 Mike Terpin 提起的修改後的訴訟，指控他因 AT&T 的疏忽而成為惡意 SIM 交換黑客攻擊的受害者。 AT&T 辯稱，特平未能充分證明該公司如何隱瞞安全漏洞或誤導他，並強調他承認沒有閱讀相關公司文件。

Background of the Case

案件背景

In August 2018, Terpin initiated a civil lawsuit against AT&T, asserting that an employee had been bribed to transfer control of his SIM card to an unauthorized party. Terpin claims that AT&T was aware of his elevated risk of a SIM-swap attack but failed to warn him or prevent the incident. He is seeking compensation of $23.8 million and punitive damages of $200 million.

2018 年 8 月，Terpin 對 AT&T 提起民事訴訟，聲稱一名員工被賄賂，將其 SIM 卡的控制權轉移給未經授權的一方。 Terpin 聲稱 AT&T 知道他遭受 SIM 交換攻擊的風險較高，但未能警告他或阻止該事件。他正在尋求 2,380 萬美元的賠償和 2 億美元的懲罰性賠償。

AT&T's Motion to Dismiss

AT&T 駁回動議

In its motion to dismiss Terpin's amended complaint, filed this week in the Central District of California federal court, AT&T argues that he has not provided sufficient evidence to support his claims of concealment and misrepresentation. Specifically, AT&T alleges that:

AT&T 本週向加州中區聯邦法院提交了駁回特平修正申訴的動議，其中辯稱特平沒有提供足夠的證據來支持他隱瞞和虛假陳述的指控。具體來說，AT&T 聲稱：

1. No Evidence of Concealment: Terpin has failed to demonstrate how AT&T concealed any alleged deficiencies in its data security system or actively misled him about its practices.
2. Lack of Reliance on Written Documents: Terpin has conceded that he did not read the privacy policy and code of business conduct documents that he claims AT&T misrepresented. Therefore, AT&T maintains that Terpin cannot base his misrepresentation claim on written materials that he did not rely on.

Previous Motion Denied

沒有隱瞞證據：Terpin 未能證明 AT&T 是如何隱瞞其資料安全系統中任何所謂的缺陷或積極誤導他的做法。缺乏對書面文件的依賴：Terpin 承認他沒有閱讀 AT&T 的隱私政策和代碼 他聲稱AT&T 歪曲了商業行為文件。因此，AT&T 認為特平不能以他不依賴的書面資料為依據提出虛假陳述。先前動議被拒絕

A previous motion to dismiss filed by AT&T in February was denied by a judge, allowing Terpin 21 days to file an amended complaint that addressed the deficiencies identified by AT&T. The current motion to dismiss pertains to this amended complaint.

AT&T 在 2 月提出的駁回動議被法官駁回，Terpin 有 21 天的時間提交修改後的投訴，以解決 AT&T 發現的缺陷。目前的駁回動議涉及此修訂後的投訴。

Similar Case

類似案例

In December 2023, AT&T filed a similar motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by another cryptocurrency executive who suffered a phone hack. AT&T argued that the case contained "critical holes" in its allegations.

2023 年 12 月，AT&T 提出了類似動議，駁回另一位遭受電話駭客攻擊的加密貨幣高層提起的訴訟。 AT&T 辯稱，該案的指控存在「嚴重漏洞」。

Conclusion

結論

The outcome of AT&T's motion to dismiss will significantly impact the ongoing legal battle between the company and Terpin. If the motion is granted, Terpin will be barred from pursuing his claims against AT&T. The proceedings will continue to be closely monitored as the case progresses through the judicial system.

AT&T 駁回動議的結果將對該公司與 Terpin 之間正在進行的法律糾紛產生重大影響。如果該動議獲得批准，特平將被禁止向 AT&T 提出索賠。隨著案件在司法系統中取得進展，訴訟程序將繼續受到密切關注。
