Alarum Technologies Faces Class Action Over NetNut Data Practices

The complaint alleges that Alarum Technologies artificially bolstered its market standing by concealing the illicit operations of its NetNut subsidiary. According to the filing, NetNut purportedly linked residential devices to external networks without user consent, effectively providing a cloak for cybercriminals to mask their digital footprints. These undisclosed activities allegedly exposed the company to significant legal risks, rendering its public statements throughout the class period materially misleading.

Shareholders who incurred financial losses during this timeframe have until October 5, 2026, to seek appointment as lead plaintiff. While legal representation is not mandatory for recovery, the firm’s partners, Brian Schall and David Schwartz, are currently reviewing claims at their Los Angeles office. As the class remains uncertified, investors who choose not to participate at this stage will continue to be classified as absent members, neither represented by counsel nor actively involved in the litigation process.
