Yahoo Agrees To $50 Million Payment To Settle 2013 Breach

Fortune magazine reported that Yahoo:

"... has agreed to pay a $50 million settlement to roughly 200 million people affected by the email service’s 2013 data breach... Up to 3 billion accounts had their emails and other personal information stolen in the hacking, but the settlement filed late Monday only applies to an estimated 1 billion accounts, held by 200 million people in the United States and Israel between 2012 and 2016... A hearing to approve this proposed end to the two-year lawsuit will be held in California on Nov. 29. If approved, the affected account holders will be emailed a notice."
