Weekly Update 470

Imagine jumping on board a class action after your precious datas have been breached, then sticking through it all the way until a settlement is reached. Then, finally, after a long and arduous battle, cashing in and getting... $1. Well, kinda $1, the ParkMobile class action granted up to $1 for successful claimants. But wait - there's more - because you can't spend it all at once, instead you get it in $0.25 whacks. Oh - and you don't actually get any cash either, instead you get credit for your next parking. And you've gotta use it all within about the following year, unless you're in California, where you can ride that sweet, sweet 4 x 25c gravy train for as long as you want. Meanwhile, instead of prioritising victims, breached companies lawyer up quickly in an attempt to head off later actions like these 🤷‍♂️
