Yahoo strikes $117.5 million data breach settlement after earlier accord rejected

Posted on April 9, 2019 by Dissent

Jonathan Stempel reports:

Yahoo has struck a revised $117.5 million settlement with millions of people whose email addresses and other personal information were stolen in the largest data breach in history.

Koh said the original settlement was not “fundamentally fair, adequate and reasonable” because it had no overall dollar value and did not say how much victims might expect to recover. She also said the legal fees appeared to be too high.
