This topic is way out of my lane but one thing is certain. Anybody who is using Flash in-house is in for a rude awakening on new year's day when whatever they are using it in is likely to crash.

Moreover, it means you will forfeit your right to sue Equifax for harm caused by the breach or continuing pursue separate claims you’ve filed."

Yes, if you just ignore this you will get nothing except a ban from ever pursuing Equifax no matter your damages. But if you accept the settlement, there is actually no guarantee you will get the headline $125 benefit. And your personal information will still be out on the internet. Forever.

An Equifax hack settlement promises a $125 payout. The truth is more complicated. There’s a good chance you won’t actually get the full $125. Here's why.
