AT&T is moving forward with a proposed AT&T Settlement worth $177 million to resolve lawsuits stemming from two massive data breaches in 2024. Millions of current and former customers could be eligible for payments of up to $7,500 if they file a valid claim before the deadline.
The settlement details, made public this month, follow multiple lawsuits filed after hackers exposed sensitive AT&T customer data, including Social Security numbers and call records.
🔗 More information and claim forms are available on the official Telecom Data Settlement website.
Two Data Breaches Impacting Millions
The first breach, announced in March 2024, compromised the personal information of 73 million AT&T account holders. Data such as birth dates and Social Security numbers surfaced on the dark web.
The second breach, disclosed in July 2024, involved call and text records for “nearly all” AT&T cellular customers.
According to CBS News, the lawsuits over both incidents were consolidated into two nationwide class-action cases. A federal judge recently approved the proposed terms for public notification, with a final approval hearing set for December 3, 2025 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.
