Inc. (&#8220;Yahoo&#8221;) and Aabaco Small Business, LLC (together, called &#8220;Defendants&#8221; in this notice), relating to data breaches (malicious actors got into system and personal data was taken) occurring in 2013 through 2016, as well as to data security intrusions (malicious actors got into system but no data appears to have been taken) occurring in early 2012 (collectively, the &#8220;Data Breaches&#8221;). <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>2012 Data Security Intrusions: From at least January through <span class=\"xn-chron\">April 2012<\/span>, at least two different malicious actors accessed Yahoo&#8217;s internal systems. The available evidence, however, does not reveal that user credentials, email accounts, or the contents of emails were taken out of Yahoo&#8217;s systems. <\/li>\n<li>2013 Data Breach: In <span class=\"xn-chron\">August 2013<\/span>, malicious actors were able to gain access to Yahoo&#8217;s user database and took records for all existing Yahoo accounts\u2014approximately three billion accounts worldwide. The records taken included the names, email addresses, telephone numbers, birth dates, passwords, and security questions and answers of Yahoo account holders. As a result, the actors may have also gained access to the contents of breached Yahoo accounts and, thus, any private information contained within users&#8217; emails, calendars, and contacts. <\/li>\n<li>2014 Data Breach: In <span class=\"xn-chron\">November 2014<\/span>, malicious actors were able to gain access to Yahoo&#8217;s user database and take records of approximately 500 million user accounts worldwide. The records taken included the names, email addresses, telephone numbers, birth dates, passwords, and security questions and answers of Yahoo account holders, and, as a result, the actors may have also gained access to the contents of breached Yahoo accounts, and thus, any private information contained within users&#8217; emails, calendars, and contacts. <\/li>\n<li>2015 and 2016 Data Breach: From 2015 to <span class=\"xn-chron\">September 2016<\/span>, malicious actors were able to use cookies instead of a password to gain access into approximately 32 million Yahoo email accounts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Plaintiffs claim that Defendants failed to adequately protect their Personal Information and that they were injured as a result. Defendants deny any wrongdoing, and no court has made any ruling in these matters.<\/p>\n<p><b>Who&#8217;s included?<\/b>\u00a0If you received a Notice from Yahoo about the Data Breaches, or if you had a Yahoo account at any time between <span class=\"xn-chron\">January 1, 2012<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-chron\">December 31, 2016<\/span>, and are a resident of <span class=\"xn-location\">the United States<\/span> or <span class=\"xn-location\">Israel<\/span>, you are a &#8220;Settlement Class Member.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>What does the Settlement provide?\u00a0 <\/b>Yahoo has agreed to make changes to improve security of its customers&#8217; Personal Information stored on its databases.\u00a0 Defendants will also pay for a Settlement Fund of <span class=\"xn-money\">$117,500,000<\/span>.
