Defunct ad company NebuAd has agreed to a $2.4 million settlement in a class-action privacy lawsuit based on its behavioral targeting practices, MediaPost News reports. The seven Web users who filed the suit will receive $1,000 to $5,000 each. The case stemmed from NebuAd's partnership with six ISPs to gather data about Web users' online activities, "including search queries and activity at non-commercial sites," the report states.

Lawsuits are pending against the six ISPs NebuAd partnered with before it folded in 2008.
