A judge questioned Razer's lawyers on whether they were contributorily negligent, given that Razer failed to respond to a security consultant's repeated warnings when the leak happened in 2020.

Lawyers for Razer countered that the amount of damages should not be reduced, while trying to establish that they had not been contributorily negligent or failed to mitigate the data leak.

The data leak in 2020 involved personal information, as well as order and shipping details, of about 100,000 Razer customers. The issue began in June 2020 when a Capgemini employee was tasked with helping Razer with a login problem on an internal IT system. Razer’s management team found out about the breach on Sep 9. Mr Cabalag resolved the issue within a day.

The letter stated that “the extent of the issue would have been significantly mitigated” if Ms Tiong had carried out the appropriate incident response or evaluated the veracity of Mr Diachenko’s initial email. When Mr Wong said they agreed there had been a delay on Razer’s part, the judge challenged him on whether he accepted Razer was contributorily negligent.
