You Could Claim Up to $5,000 from AT&T’s $177M Data Breach Settlement — Here’s How

Millions of AT&T customers affected by two massive data breaches are now eligible to receive compensation from a $177 million class action settlement. Whether you were a current or former customer, you may qualify for a payout — but deadlines are approaching.

What Happened?

AT&T was hit by two major data breaches:

• 2019 Breach: Hackers accessed personal information including Social Security numbers and passcodes of over 73 million customers.
• 2024 Breach: Call and text metadata from nearly all AT&T users in 2022 was exposed due to a cloud server breach.

A U.S. court has given preliminary approval for a combined settlement covering both incidents.
