Two major AT&T data breaches in 2024 exposed millions of customers’ personal info and call records. Now, a $177 million class action settlement offers compensation — with some eligible for up to $7,500 if affected by both incidents. The claim deadline is today, November 18, 2025 (or extended in some reports to Dec. 18 — check the official site immediately). Don’t miss out if your data was compromised.
The 2024 AT&T Data Breaches Explained
- March 2024 Breach (AT&T 1): Hackers released data from ~73 million current/former customers on the dark web, including names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and passcodes.
- July 2024 Breach (AT&T 2): Unauthorized access to call/text records for ~110 million customers (May–Oct 2022 + Jan 2023), including phone numbers interacted with, call counts, and durations.
AT&T denies wrongdoing but settled to avoid trial. If notified by AT&T or the settlement administrator, you’re likely eligible.
Possible Payout Amounts
| Breach Affected | Max Documented Loss Payment | Alternative Tier Payment |
|---|---|---|
| March 2024 Only | Up to $5,000 (with proof of losses) | Tier cash (pro rata share) |
| July 2024 Only | Up to $2,500 (with proof) | Tier cash (pro rata) |
| Both Breaches | Up to $7,500 total | Higher tier cash |
Actual amounts depend on valid claims and may be lower. Documented losses need receipts (e.g., credit monitoring, fraud losses).
