$31 million divided by $125 is 248,000.
I think I have better chances of seeing my can of tuna than that $125. Assholes. |

The best part of all this will be when that eligibility check website gets hacked and all the last names and last 6 digits of everyone's socials get stolen.

So I'm still gonna' (maybe) get my 10 years of credit monitoring? lol They'll probably restructure and invalidate that too. The bank always wins.

If Equifax is still advertising it, then they can be sued again to deliver what they promise.

This is why i never bothered entering my personal info on some dumbass site. I don't care if it was legit.
How secure do you think some wordpress or frontpage site set up by a lawyer is? |

This is why I went with the free credit monitoring.
Class action settlements rarely happen anywhere near or at all what they say. |

Quoted:
n a memo on Wednesday, FTC assistant director Robert Schoshinski said the regulator has been overwhelmed by people filing claims against Equifax after the biz was cyber-looted by hackers in 2017. He then warned that, because the settlement with the mega-hacked outfit had been capped, it is very unlikely people will end up receiving that promised $125 each. In fact, the deal may be worth no more than 21 cents. We note that the website folks can file claims through, ftc.gov/equifax, no longer mentions a $125 option, whereas Equifax's website still offers it.
"There is a downside to this unexpected number of claims," noted Schoshinski. "The pot of money that pays for that part of the settlement is $31 million. A large number of claims for cash instead of credit monitoring means only one thing: each person who takes the money option will wind up only getting a small amount of money. Nowhere near the $125 they could have gotten if there hadn’t been such an enormous number of claims filed." |

nobody gets paid in class action suits except the lawyers.
That being said, I'll sign up for the crappy 4 years of "free" monitoring.. most credit cards do it already these days though. |

this is all bullshit, the only reason identity theft exists is because the big 3 refuse to stop it. hell they now sell their own monitoring services to profit off their own failure.
There is zero reason all credit should not be 2 factor authorization with the person approving everything and notified instantly. |

They know the exact number of people "affected" so why the fuck wasn't the penalty enough to cover those for the $125? I was hoping for around $350 each for myself and my wife.

I didn't have any credit cards at the time so my data wasn't affected. I was kinda bummed I didn't get the $125, but on the plus side, neither will anyone else and my data wasn't compromised in the first place, so I have that going for me, which is nice.

Yet again, no real repercussions for the company responsible.
This is something far stricter laws are needed on. I'm perfectly fine with something like 50% of the company's value in fines for massive data breaches. That's the kind of fine that would make C-Levels really get on the infosec game and take it seriously. If it breaks them and they go bankrupt? Oh the fuck well. You knew and decided to take the gamble. |
