Equifax Faces Multibillion-Dollar Lawsuit Over Hack
I'd love to see the $70B number pan out (though $500 per person is less than the damages, I think) -- Equifax is a $17B company, and would presumably stop existing if that happened.<p>On the other hand, these things always settle out of court, and Equifax certainly won't settle the suit for more than they're worth.<p>I said it elsewhere, but I think the right response is to opt out of the class, and sue for $1000 in small claims court. If ~15% of the class does this, they are out of business, and lawyers don't get a dime of the $1000.<p>Also, I'd love to see a new non-profit website that automated the paperwork.
