Last chance for AT&T customers to get $7,500 from $177m ‘dark web’ settlement as updated December deadline looms
AT&T customers have until December 18th to claim up to $7,500 from a $177 million settlement related to data breaches.Summary
AT&T customers potentially affected by data breaches on March 30, 2024, and July 12, 2024, have a final chance to claim compensation from a $177 million settlement. The deadline to submit a claim is December 18th. These breaches reportedly exposed sensitive customer information, including Social Security numbers, which were then leaked onto the “dark web.” While AT&T denies wrongdoing, they agreed to the settlement to avoid prolonged litigation. Claimants affected by both leaks can potentially receive up to $7,500, with $5,000 available for those impacted by the March leak and $2,500 for those impacted by the July leak, provided they submit documentation of losses. The amount received may vary based on the total number of valid claims. Claim forms can be submitted online or by mail, and those unsure of their eligibility can call 833-890-4930 for assistance.
