Overview
- AT&T agreed to a combined $177 million settlement over two 2024 data incidents, with $149 million allocated to the first class and $28 million to the second.
- The March 2024 leak exposed personal details such as names, addresses, birth dates and, for some, Social Security numbers, while the later incident involved call and text metadata downloaded from a third‑party cloud workspace.
- Consumers may claim up to $5,000 for losses tied to the first breach, up to $2,500 for the second, and as much as $7,500 total if affected by both, subject to documentation and fund distribution.
- Class members must submit claims online or by mail by Dec. 18, 2025, with opt‑outs and objections due by Nov. 17, and final court approval set for Jan. 15, 2026.
- AT&T denies wrongdoing and says it settled to avoid prolonged litigation, and the Kroll Settlement Administration is handling the claims portal and hotline at (833) 890‑4930.
