US EditionHere's How You Can Get Paid From AT&T's $177M Data Breach Settlement
- AT&T will pay $177 million to current and former customers affected by two major data breaches from 2019 and 2024, pending final court approval on December 3, 2024.
- The breaches occurred first in 2019 and later in 2024 when hackers accessed call and text records, including data from a cloud provider, exposing millions of customers.
- Settlement notices began going out in August 2024 with claim applications starting then, and deadlines set for opting out by October 17 and submitting claims by November 18.
- Claimants from the 2019 breach may receive up to $5,000, while those from the 2024 incident can get up to $2,500, with higher payouts prioritized for damages fairly traceable to the breaches.
- AT&T denies responsibility for the breaches but agreed to settle to avoid litigation, and expects to start distributing payments early in 2025 after the court hearing.
