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.
