Yahoo in new $117.5 million data breach settlement after earlier accord rejected
- 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. It covers as many as 194 million people in the United States and Israel with roughly 896 million accounts.
