How to File a Claim in the $177M AT&T Data Breach Settlement
AT&T customers affected by two major data breaches in 2024 may be eligible for cash payments as part of a $177 million settlement. Claims must be submitted by November 18, 2025.
What Happened
- March 2024: A data set including Social Security numbers and other personal details was leaked, impacting about 73 million people.
- July 2024: Hackers accessed phone and text records from nearly all AT&T cellular customers via a third-party cloud provider.
Settlement Details
A District Court judge gave preliminary approval in June 2025. Final approval is scheduled for December 3, 2025.
- Total Settlement: $177 million
- $149M for the March 2024 breach
- $28M for the July 2024 breach
Potential Payouts
- Up to $5,000 for documented losses tied to the March 2024 breach
- Tiered cash payments based on pro rata distribution if your Social Security number was compromised
- Up to $2,500 for documented losses from the July 2024 breach
- Tiered cash payments for other affected customers
Customers impacted by both breaches can file claims for each, but must provide different documentation for each incident.
Why It Matters
If you were an AT&T customer in 2024, you could be entitled to a payout—potentially up to $7,500 if you were affected by both breaches.
Bottom Line: Don’t miss out—submit your claim by November 18, 2025. The court will decide on final approval in December, but payouts depend on timely, valid claims.
