AT&T Data Breach Payout—Who’s Eligible And How To Make A Claim

The $177 million settlement addresses breaches exposing sensitive data of over 70 million AT&T customers, with payouts up to $7,500 based on verified financial losses.

  • AT&T customers whose data was exposed in two breaches can apply for up to $7,500 from a $177 million settlement.
  • On March 30, 2024, AT&T announced that data from 7.6 million current and 65.4 million former account holders was released, followed by hackers stealing six months of call and text records on July 12, 2024, in a class-action suit.
  • Under the settlement terms, customers with documented losses in the first suit can claim up to $5,000, and those in the second suit up to $2,500.
  • The deadline to file a claim is Nov. 18, 2025, and claims can be submitted online at www.telecomdatasettlement.com or by mail to AT&T Data Incident Settlement P.O. Box 2 by that date.
  • A final approval hearing is set for Dec. 3, 2025, and payments could begin around the start of 2026 pending court approval.
