• Litigation grows against Iowa maker of ignition locks, but is paused by the court (mississippivalleypublishing.com) — A Worth resident is at the center of a growing federal lawsuit over alleged failures by ignition-lock maker Intoxalock after a 2026 cyberattack reportedly disabled devices and exposed customer data. His case, now consolidated with others, claims his car shut off, he lost work, and his information may have been misused. Court proceedings are paused until early 2027 while the company investigates.
