The lawsuit was filed after the online platform faced several data breaches between 2013 and 2016. The first data breach occurred in 2013, and the company issued a notice on Dec. 14, 2016. The class-action lawsuit alleged that the company failed to protect account holders' personal information and that the data breaches were due to "inadequate data security measures in place." As a result, if you were affected by all of the data breaches, you could receive a maximum of $375. Under category B, Canadians could have claimed up to five hours of "wasted time and inconvenience" responding to each of the three data breaches.
