Online security firm DataDome just reported that it has stopped a massive scalping effort to buy memory modules and resell them at inflated prices, turning the memory situation from bad to worse.
Silicon Power reportedly charged a 15% depreciation fee while refunding a user their 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3200 RAM, meaning they'll only receive $46.72, which isn't even enough to buy a single 8GB DDR4-3200 RAM stick at current prices.
Angeion Group is calling for eligible customers to file a claim for the G.Skill class action settlement. The portal is open until April 7, 2026, giving affected people less than two months to submit a claim form.

This doesn't indicate that the crisis is over, or even that there will be no more price hikes, but rather that the unpredictability is finally starting to wither.
The big three memory chip makers are reportedly becoming stricter when it comes to who buys their chips, ensuring that the demand is real before allowing customers to get them.
