The lawsuit claims the bars' "negligence" caused Robinson to become "impaired, vulnerable, and unable to recognize or escape imminent danger." It also alleges the bars disregarded public safety and legal compliance.
Robinson's family is seeking unspecified damages for negligence, wrongful death and emotional distress.
The backstory
Prosecutors said Robinson was killed and dismembered after a first date with Maxwell Anderson, who is charged in connection with her death. Anderson is expected to go to trial in May.
Images showed Anderson and Robinson showing up at a Menomonee Valley bar and restaurant for a date. The two sat at the bar and later left together. Court filings said the two went to a Water Street bar that night – April 1, 2024. It was the last time Robinson's family and friends heard from Sade.

You Must Stop These Calls On Your iPhone Or Android Phone
Do not take these calls. Smartphone users are at risk from criminals 'capitalizing on fear and intimidation,' the FBI warns, as a malicious new attack surges. All iPhone and Android users are now told: 'Be wary of answering phone calls from numbers you do not recognize.' The attack is as simple as it is devious. Criminals pretend to be federal agents or police officers and then work up a scam that ultimately demands payment to avoid an arrest or court appearance or jury duty or worse. And victims fall for it. 'Because nobody wants to be the subject of a law enforcement investigation,' the FBI says. We have seen such attacks across the U.S., but the latest warning comes from Boston, where the FBI issued a statement assuring citizens that 'law enforcement and federal agencies do not call individuals threatening arrest or demanding money.' Increasingly these attacks make use of spoofed phone numbers, which can make it appear that the call is coming from an FBI field office or similar. As ever, smartphone users are told not to engage or react. Hang-up, and if you have any doubts whether it's a scam, you should call the authorities independently to check. Impersonation scams are soaring Ted Docks, the bureau's SAIC in Boston, told local media: 'We've seen an increase in these scams which is why we're reminding the public to resist the urge to act immediately and verify who is actually contacting you.' This is a nationwide threat. In a separate warning, the FBI's Charlotte NC field office has warned that citizens are being called to be told they have missed jury duty and are now subject to a federal arrest warrant. 'Legitimate arrest warrants are not emailed or texted,' the bureau said in a statement. 'They are served by a law enforcement officer or court official and never include a demand for payment to avoid jail time,' The FBI's advice is simple: 'Trust your instincts and hang up on callers who make you feel pressured or uncomfortable.' The fact these impersonation scams are surging tells you they're working. And while readers of cybersecurity articles are more scam-aware than most, the real threat is to the less technically savvy and especially to the elderly. It's worth warning those around you that might be vulnerable to such attacks.

FBI Warning To 10 Million Android Users — Disconnect Your Devices Now
Discconnect now, FBI warns 10 million Android users. Update, July 26, 2025: This story, originally published on July 25, has been updated with a statement from the researchers which initially disclosed and disrupted the BadBox 2.0 operation that the FBI and Google are tackling head-on. In March, I reported that one of the largest botnets of its kind ever detected had impacted over a million Android devices. That massive attack was known as BadBox, but it has now been eclipsed by BadBox 2.0, with at least 10 million Android devices infected. Google has taken action to protect users as best it can, as well as launching legal action against the attackers, and the FBI has urged impacted users to disconnect their devices from the internet. Here's what you need to know. The FBI, Google And Others Warn Of Android BadBox 2.0 Attacks The FBI cybersecurity alert, I-060525-PSA, could not have been clearer: ongoing attacks are targeting everything from streaming devices, digital picture frames, third-party aftermarket automobile infotainment systems and other assorted home smart devices. The devices, all low-cost and uncertified, mostly originating in China, allow attackers to access your home network and beyond by, the FBI warned, 'configuring the product with malicious software prior to the user's purchase.' It has also been noted, however, that mandatory 'software updates' during the installation process can also install a malicious backdoor. Point Wild's Threat Intelligence Lat61 Team reverse-engineered the BadBox 2 infection chain and, as a result, uncovered new indicators of compromise that have been shared with global Computer Emergency Response Teams, as well as law enforcement. 'This Android-based malware is pre-installed in the firmware of low-cost IoT devices, smart TVs, TV boxes, tablets, before they even leave the factory,' Kiran Gaikwad from the LAT61 team said, 'It silently turns them into residential proxy nodes for criminal operations like click fraud, credential stuffing, and covert command and control (C2) routing.' Google, meanwhile, confirmed in a July 17 statement that it had 'filed a lawsuit in New York federal court against the botnet's perpetrators.' Google also said that it has 'updated Google Play Protect, Android's built-in malware and unwanted software protection, to automatically block BadBox-associated apps.' Human Security Behind Initial BadBox 2.0 Disclosure And Disruption Human Security, whose Satori Threat Intelligence and Research Team originally both disclosed and disrupted the BadBox 2.0 threat campaign, said at the time that researchers believed 'several threat actor groups participated in BadBox 2.0, each contributing to parts of the underlying infrastructure or the fraud modules that monetize the infected devices, including programmatic ad fraud, click fraud, proxyjacking, and creating and operating a botnet across 222 countries and territories.' If nothing else, that provides some context to the scale of this campaign. Now, Stu Solomon, the Human Security CEO, has issued the following statement: 'We applaud Google's decisive action against the cybercriminals behind the BadBox 2.0 botnet our team uncovered. This takedown marks a significant step forward in the ongoing battle to secure the internet from sophisticated fraud operations that hijack devices, steal money, and exploit consumers without their knowledge. Human's mission is to protect the integrity of the digital ecosystem by disrupting cybercrime at scale, and this effort exemplifies the power of collective defense. We're proud to have been deeply involved in this operation, working in close partnership with Google, TrendMicro, and the Shadowserver Foundation. Their collaboration has been invaluable in helping us expose and dismantle this threat.' FBI Recommendations And Mitigations — Disconnect Your Devices Now The FBI has recommended that Android users should be on the lookout for a number of potential clues that your Chinese-manufactured smart device could be infected with BadBox 2.0 malware. When it comes to mitigation, the advice is straightforward: users should 'consider disconnecting suspicious devices from their networks,' the FBI said.
