    In semi-related news, my Equifax class action check finally came through… all $11 of it.

    If you don’t know you have been harmed due to a company’s incompetence/failure, you don’t know you may have standing for suit. I’d also imagine the PR hit and flood of calls to their customer support ’system’ also factored into keeping us in the dark.

      I recently found I was eligible for a settlement for a Yahoo hack a decade or more ago. But the conditions involved submitting materials from within the compromised account which are no longer available since the account was closed years ago. These things are designed to make it difficult for the public to claim their rightful compensation.
