Anyone whose personal records sat inside FinWise Bank’s systems during a 2024 security failure is now working against a firm calendar set in a Salt Lake City federal court. The bank, its holding company, and a lending partner agreed to resolve a class-action lawsuit rather than keep fighting it, and the resulting fund now runs…

A Florida circuit court has signed off on notice for a privacy settlement that traces back to something as routine as typing a drugstore item into a search bar. CVS Pharmacy and the digital advertising firm Criteo Corp. are resolving a lawsuit alleging that terms typed into CVS’s website and app search bar were captured…

A federal privacy case that Oracle America spent nearly four years contesting is now moving into its payment phase.

Amazon Flex drivers who never cashed a settlement check from a federal tip-withholding case are now getting that money a different way.

Amazon customers who used more than 10 Prime perks in a single year — fast shipping, Prime Video, Prime Music, grocery discounts and the rest — collected nothing when the company’s first rounds of refund checks went out under its 2025 settlement with the Federal Trade Commission. A federal court this week signed off on…

Amazon customers who signed up for Prime without meaning to — or who got stuck trying to cancel — are about to see a bigger check than the settlement first promised. A federal court in Seattle approved a revised payout plan this month that lifts the ceiling on what any one customer can collect from…

A Zelle deposit landing in a bank account this month, tagged with a note about a decade-old wireless plan, is not a phishing attempt for one specific group of former AT&T customers.
