A few hours after the announcement of a data breach on Friday by the Marriott international hotel chain, two men from Oregon filed a lawsuit against the company for reporting their data.
Their lawsuit was followed a few hours later by another filed in the state of Maryland.
Both suits naturally seek damages. Plaintiffs in Maryland did not specify the amount of damages they suffered from the Marriott hack, but plaintiffs in Oregon are seeking $12,5 billionmillions dollars. 
The figure appears to be equivalent to $25 for each of the 500 million users who had their personal data on Marriott's servers during the breach announced last Friday.
The two Oregon plaintiffs told a local newspaper that $ 25 is the minimum value for users' time to cancel their credit cards due to the Marriott hack.
Η treatment of Maryland was filed by the Baltimore law firm Murphy, Falcon & Murphy, according to a Press release.
The Marriott breach was announced on Friday, revealing that hackers stole personal information from around 500 million users. The hotel chain did not say how many users the hackers were able to access financial data for, but the number should not be more than 327 million, according to a Marriott press release.
All guests who stayed at Marriott's Starwood hotels over the past four years are reportedly affected by the hack. Starwood brands include W Hotels, St. Regis, Sheraton Hotels & Resorts, Westin Hotels & Resorts, Element Hotels, Aloft Hotels, The Luxury Collection, Tribute Portfolio, Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts, Four Points by Sheraton and Design Hotels.
Of course, more lawsuits are expected to be filed soon, which will be heard for years. For example, Uber just agreed to pay $ 148 million to settle a 2016 hack lawsuit, while Yahoo agreed to pay up to $ 85 million for a 2014 hack that exposed the personal data of 500 million users.
The Marriott hack is the second largest hack of all time with Yahoo's first.
