AT&T settlement deadline over data breaches nears. What to know in Florida
A December 18th deadline is approaching for AT&T customers affected by 2024 data breaches to claim a portion of a $177 million settlement.Summary
AT&T customers impacted by data breaches in March and July of 2024 have until December 18th to file a claim for a share of a $177 million class action settlement. While AT&T denies the allegations, the settlement offers potential payouts of up to $7,500 for those affected by both breaches, with documentation of losses required. Eligibility includes customers affected by either the March 30th breach (potentially up to $5,000) or the July 12th breach (potentially up to $2,500). Claims can be filed online at telecomdatasettlement.com or by mail. Failure to file a claim by the deadline means forfeiting any potential benefits and relinquishing the right to pursue further legal action. The breaches compromised sensitive customer data, including personal information and call/text records, potentially impacting over 7 million customers in 2024 and over 65 million between 2019 and 2024.
