If you were an AT&T customer affected by one of two major 2024 data breaches, you may be eligible for up to $7,500 in compensation.
Why the Settlement Happened
AT&T faced two massive data breaches in 2024:
- March 2024 breach – Exposed the personal data (including Social Security numbers) of 73 million current and former customers.
- July 2024 breach – Hackers accessed AT&T data from a third-party cloud platform, exposing call and text records of nearly all AT&T cellular customers.
After multiple lawsuits, a federal judge approved moving forward with a proposed $177 million settlement.
- $149M for the first breach’s victims.
- $28M for the second breach’s victims.
- Final court approval hearing: December 3, 2025.
