A federal lawsuit claims St. Louis-based Express Scripts should have done more to prevent a widely publicized data breach last year. According to the lawsuit, filed Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, the company didn't use the most advanced information security technology it could and failed to take other steps to prevent the loss of its clients' confidential information. The lawsuit seeks class action status, claiming at least one million people were affected by the data breach.
