Our Core Issues
Where the Law Must Catch Up with Technology
Our members are cyber attorneys with deep technical knowledge who take on technology-related abuses that threaten privacy, security, and fairness.
1.Privacy & Data Breach Litigation
Companies collect and store vast amounts of personal data—often more than needed—without real transparency or consent. Weak protections leave consumers with little control over their own information. DRBA attorneys represent victims of corporate negligence and unauthorized data collection.

When personal data is stolen, victims face financial harm, credit damage, and reputational loss. The burden of fixing the problem usually falls on the victim, not the company that failed to protect the data. Our attorneys pursue remedies for individuals whose personal information has been misused or stolen.

Cybercriminals target individuals, businesses, and public institutions. Attacks can result in lost files, extortion demands, and long-term security risks. DRBA attorneys advise and litigate for consumers impacted by extortion-based cyberattacks and hold bad actors accountable for security failures.

Scams, exchange breaches, and predatory practices in cryptocurrency and fintech are on the rise. Current laws often leave victims without clear protections or remedies. Our attorneys combat scams, exchange breaches, and illicit crypto schemes targeting consumers.

Artificial intelligence influences decisions about jobs, loans, housing, and healthcare. These systems can be biased, opaque, and capable of spreading misinformation without oversight. DRBA addresses bias, misinformation, and automated decision-making abuses.
Get legal help with this issue →6.Online Harassment, Stalking & Abuse
Digital harassment, doxxing, deepfake abuse, and coordinated online attacks cause real-world harm. Platforms face little accountability for enabling or ignoring abuse. Our attorneys protect victims from targeted online abuse and threats.
Get legal help with this issue →7.Forced Arbitration & Contract Abuse
Many technology contracts hide clauses that block lawsuits, force arbitration, and ban class actions. This keeps harmful practices out of public view and limits consumer rights. DRBA attorneys challenge unfair, deceptive, or predatory digital agreements.
Get legal help with this issue →8.Platform Accountability & CDA Reform
Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act shields platforms from liability for harmful or illegal content. While meant to protect free expression, it has also allowed companies to avoid responsibility for enabling scams and abuse.
Get legal help with this issue →9.Expansion of Consumer Financial Protections
Core financial protections do not extend to cryptocurrency and many digital payment systems, leaving victims of fraud and theft without the safeguards they have in traditional banking. DRBA advocates for expanded consumer protections.
Get legal help with this issue →10.Consumer Cybersecurity & Safety Standards
Many consumer tech products are released with weak security, unpatched vulnerabilities, and no long-term support—putting users at unnecessary risk. Our attorneys advocate for higher security standards in consumer-facing technologies.
