AT&T Data Breach Settlement Claims Open as Nov. 18 Deadline Nears

Final approval hinges on a Dec. 3 court hearing.

Overview

  • Eligible customers tied to the March 30 and July 12, 2024 incidents can file claims online at www.telecomdatasettlement.com or by mail, using a class member ID or by verifying details, with questions directed to 833-890-4930.
  • Claim options include documented-loss payments up to $5,000 for the March breach and up to $2,500 for the July breach, or tiered cash alternatives that include a share of remaining funds after administration and claims.
  • Those affected by both incidents may claim up to $7,500 in documented losses, subject to proof that losses are traceable to the breaches.
  • Key dates include an Oct. 17, 2025 deadline to opt out or object, a Nov. 18, 2025 filing cutoff, and a Dec. 3, 2025 fairness hearing on the proposed $177 million settlement.
  • The fund allocates about $149 million to the March dataset and $28 million to the July call-log incident, and AT&T denies wrongdoing while agreeing to settle to avoid prolonged litigation.
