I let them do it, I only asked questions.
You must have some motivation if you get involved in a lawsuit for a few euros (and that's all you're going to get).

It's a class action. Even if you lose, you won't bear any Risk (costs). If you are successful, you get money. So you have no disadvantages, only advantages. That is the motivation.

I had two e-mails from Jokerstar in my mailbox this morning. Tonight at 4am someone tried to change the password twice and the jokerstar account was blocked. I'm leaving it blocked too, I don't want to have anything more to do with these pig clubs. I can't wait to see what else comes around the corner...
Maybe everyone from the database will soon be banned from oasis or lugas or whatever it's called... Life sentence... 🤔 🤣

I received the email despite my account being blocked. A whole twelve times.

I then contacted the support team. They were also hacked, but supposedly everything is safe 😂

Who pays for the class action?

If it's successful, you pay 25%, but if it's lost, you pay nothing.

Protectra selects cases in which you assume that the injured parties are very likely to receive compensation.

If this is the case, you claim 25% of the sum for yourself.

Otherwise, Protectra bears the costs.

It's all good, you were just asking. Nobody knows everything The topic itself is a bit new, so it's understandable that not everyone knows that their own data has value and that companies have had to take much more care of data security by law for a few years now and if they mess up, they have to pay a fine and pay compensation.

This makes it easier for you to understand why many people are joining this class action lawsuit. I mean, it's like if someone insults you (compensation for pain and suffering due to insult |§| compensation for damages), you report them and sue them and demand compensation, even though you haven't actually suffered any material damage. It's not really any different here. Data can be regarded as "immaterial" and a lot of mischief can be done with the data through access by third parties (has already been explained here several times).

You also have to look at it positively. It's a good thing for consumers that companies have to take data protection much more seriously. Perhaps you can now better understand why some people here are outraged at how easy Merkur wants to make this look.

According to an e-mail from the Provider, only cases that come from customers who have legal protection Insurance are currently being processed.

There must be a reason why they are not making advance payments without legal expenses insurance as originally stated.

Same with me. I've just read about the attack for the first time. Otherwise I wouldn't have known about it.
