Oh gee golly. The breach of my most sensitive data (most of which I never authorized Equifax to collect and store in the first place) was worth $5.21.

That sure makes up for it. This $5.21 makes me whole.

@wbm312 Less than the price of a year of credit monitoring.

@wbm312 ‘s like the “coffee and a donut” settlement with Tim’s in Canada:

Tim Hortons to offer free coffee, doughnut to app users involved in privacy lawsuit

According to court documents, Tim Hortons says the retail value of a free hot beverage is $6.19 while the value of a baked good is $2.39, plus taxes.

@wbm312
be happy for the struggling class action lawyers that had to make do with only millions off the top. 😏
@wbm312 You SURE that isn’t phishing? I did NOT get it, just checked.
@wbm312 The attorneys get the rest. 🎉
@wbm312 oooo! I got $11.45! Did one of us itemize better or just roll the dice better? 😜 My favorite is still how quickly in this lawsuit they had to come back with "oh! So many people are demanding money instead of credit monitoring we think you must be lying and demand proof!" as if we weren't all sitting on a dozen companies "sorry we lost your data, here is free credit monitoring" offers from earlier.
@jamesofur @wbm312 $5.21 for me too; my partner got $13something, not sure why.
@wbm312 well, at least they’re all still in business and nothing has changed with their really awesome business model which is totally, explicitly legal 🙌👍
@wbm312 this approach to privacy and the system are working, totally! Oh, wait…
