AT&T Data Breach Settlement Deadline Is Today

Eligible customers can seek tiered or documented-loss payments up to $7,500 in a $177 million agreement.

Overview

  • Online claims must be submitted by Dec. 18, and mailed forms must be postmarked by today to be counted.
  • $177 million is allocated across two settlement funds, with $149 million for the March data incident and $28 million for the call-records incident.
  • The cases involve two separate 2024 disclosures: one exposing personal data including some Social Security numbers, and another involving call and text records taken from a third-party cloud workspace.
  • Eligible claimants may request up to $5,000 for the first incident, up to $2,500 for the second, or up to $7,500 if affected by both, with tiered and pro rata options depending on proof of loss.
  • Claims can be filed at www.telecomdatasettlement.com or by mailing forms to Kroll Settlement Administration in New York, and AT&T continues to deny wrongdoing.
