AT&T Forced to Pay $177 Million for Negligence

AT&T is now being held accountable for two significant data security failures in 2024 that left millions of its customers vulnerable. The telecommunications giant has agreed to a massive $177 million class-action settlement to compensate those affected. The lawsuit stems from incidents where sensitive personal information was stolen and released, prompting legal action to compensate victims for the breach of their privacy.

Were You Affected? Details of the Breaches

The settlement covers two distinct security failures:

  1. March 30, 2024 Breach: A major incident where a trove of customer data was discovered on the dark web. This information included highly sensitive details such as Social Security numbers, full names, addresses, birthdates, and account passcodes.
  2. July 12, 2024 Breach: A second incident where a more limited set of data was illegally downloaded by unauthorized individuals, further compromising customer accounts.

If you were an AT&T customer during these periods, your information may have been exposed. You can confirm your eligibility and officially file a claim by visiting the official settlement website, telecomdatasettlement.com. You will be asked to provide a class member ID, email address, or AT&T account number to verify your status.

How Much Money Could You Receive?

The amount of compensation you can receive depends on which breach affected you and the type of data that was exposed. The maximum potential payout is $7,500 for individuals impacted by both incidents.

Payout Tiers Explained
  • Up to $5,000 (March Breach): Those whose Social Security numbers were compromised in the March incident are eligible for the highest tier of payment. Others affected by the March breach without SSN exposure are eligible for a lower-tier payment. This requires submitting documentation of your losses.
  • Up to $2,500 (July Breach): Individuals impacted by the July data download can claim a cash payment from the remaining settlement funds.

Final Warning: The Clock is Ticking on the November 18 Deadline

You have only a limited time to act. All claims must be submitted online or postmarked by mail no later than Tuesday, November 18, 2025. This is a firm deadline, and missing it means you will lose your right to any compensation from this settlement. Don't let AT&T keep the money you are owed for their failure to protect your data.
