AT&T customers can file a late claim in settlement and earn up to $7,500
AT&T customers can submit a late claim to receive up to $7,500 from a $177 million settlement related to data breaches.Summary
AT&T customers have a final opportunity to file a late claim in a $177 million settlement stemming from two data breach incidents in 2024. The settlement addresses allegations that AT&T failed to protect customer data, which subsequently appeared on the dark web, including sensitive information like Social Security numbers and call/text data. While AT&T denies wrongdoing, a court hearing was held on January 15th to determine the fairness of the settlement. Customers affected by the March 30th breach may receive up to $5,000, while those affected by the July 12th breach may receive up to $2,500, with a potential maximum of $7,500 for those impacted by both. Late claim forms can be downloaded from the settlement page and must be mailed to the designated address, though acceptance isn't guaranteed. The court's decision on settlement approval is pending, and payment timelines remain unclear.
