====
Yahoo Inc (YHOO.O) was sued on Friday by a user who accused it of gross negligence over a massive 2014 hacking in which information was stolen from at least 500 million accounts.
...
Ronald Schwartz, a New York resident, sued on behalf of all Yahoo users in the United States whose personal information was compromised. The lawsuit seeks class-action status and unspecified damages.

Pretty sure Yahoo have disclaimer they are "gross negligent", so the
suing is doomed, unless the morons failed to make such disclaimer.
