Yahoo Data Breach Settlement Boosted to $117.5M

Yahoo has reached an amended $117.5 million settlement with millions of users whose sensitive personal information may have been exposed in a 2013 data breach. So reports Ars Technica.

U.S. District Court Judge Lucy Koh rejected an earlier agreement of $50 million in January, and the latest deal still requires her approval. While the breach affected all 3 billion Yahoo users globally, including their email addresses, telephone numbers and birthdates, the proposed settlement class would consist only of up to 194 million people in the United States and Israel.
