Coupang Investors Face Feb. 17 Lead‑Plaintiff Deadline in Data‑Breach Securities Fight

Investor notices cite months‑long undetected access by a former employee, with differing class periods that could affect eligibility.

Overview

Plaintiff firms including Robbins LLP, The Gross Law Firm, Kirby McInerney, Levi & Korsinsky, Hagens Berman, and ClaimsFiler are soliciting investors to seek lead‑plaintiff status by February 17, 2026.
The pending cases include Barry v. Coupang, Inc. and a subsequent Lee v. Coupang, Inc., with filings in the Northern District of California and Western District of Washington.
Most notices set a class period of May 7 to December 16, 2025, while Robbins LLP cites April 6 to December 16, 2025, a difference that could influence who qualifies to recover and lead the case.
Coupang’s December 16, 2025 Form 8‑K reported that a former employee may have accessed names, phone numbers, delivery addresses, emails for up to about 33 million accounts, and certain order histories for a subset.
The complaints also point to stock drops tied to disclosures and reporting, a CEO resignation, a roughly 1.685 trillion won ($1.2 billion) compensation plan, and ongoing Korean regulatory and law‑enforcement investigations.
