A U.S. judge has approved a $177 million settlement for lawsuits related to data breaches experienced by AT&T in 2019 and 2024. This settlement allows current and former customers to claim compensation based on losses from the breaches. AT&T acknowledged that customer data, including call and text logs, were exposed, but they denied wrongdoing. Payments will begin in early 2025, with notification to customers occurring between August and October 2024. The settlement includes two funds for the two breaches, with customers eligible for payouts up to $5,000.
AT&T denied responsibility for the breaches but agreed to a $177 million settlement to avoid the costs and uncertainties associated with litigation.
Customers affected by the breaches could receive payouts of up to $5,000 for losses deemed "fairly traceable."
