Case Intel
AT&T has reached a $177 million settlement to resolve claims stemming from two massive data breaches that exposed sensitive personal information for tens of millions of customers. Eligible customers must file by the Nov. 17 deadline to possibly get a piece of AT&T’s $177 million settlement, with individual payouts potentially reaching up to $7,500 for those who can document significant financial harm from the breaches.

The telecommunications giant that once promised to keep your conversations private now owes customers a fortune after failing spectacularly in that very promise. AT&T has agreed to pay a $177 million settlement to resolve multidistrict litigation over separate data breaches that were announced in March and July 2024, representing one of the largest telecommunications data security settlements in recent history.
This isn’t just another corporate slap on the wrist – it’s a massive payday that could put real money back in the pockets of millions of affected customers. But here’s the catch: you have less than three months to claim your share, and most eligible customers don’t even know they’re entitled to compensation.
