In a news release posted on the De Lage Landen Financial Services (DLL) website,  DLL alleges it has learned that a senior officer of Element Financial Corp. gained access to DLL’s computer systems without DLL’s consent or knowledge. The complaint was filed on May 21, 2013 in the Montgomery County (PA) Court of Common Pleas.

In the release, DLL said given the obvious concerns around protecting the proprietary and confidential information of DLL, its vendor partners and its employees, DLL has commenced litigation to assess the extent, scope and purpose of such access. The litigation will also, among other things, address what role, if any, others at Element Financial Corp. had in connection with this conduct, according to the release.
