Good of them to make arrangements automatically. I hate it when
they make you "settle" with added restrictions though.

I remember an Equifax one too. The online "verifier" did not
list my name.
It's nice when a class-action system is automatic, and the
payout arrives without requiring too much involvement. I'm not
going to bother with the MS one. A $250 payout seems pathetic.
But maybe a little bit of work to receive $250 might be
rewarding - especially if invested in crypto for the long haul.
