It looks like the FTC didn't do it due diligence to ensure that the evidence presented against LabMD was legitimate? Of course, none of us would really be surprised if this is the case.

Unfortunately, even if Tiversa is found to be at fault, LabMD is still probably beyond recovery now that it's closed up shop.

It sounds like they really did get hacked. Isn't the whole point of the lawsuit that they were too insecure with sensitive information, and therefore justifiable?

"Wallace said he tapped into LabMD's computers and pulled the medical records. The cybersecurity firm then alerted LabMD it had been hacked."

Well, Tiversa scanned LimeWire for PII and found a file containing billing records of patients on a PC belonging to LabMD. They copied the file and eventually gave it to the FTC, apparently claiming they found it on multiple computers on the LimeWire network.
