AT&T settlement could mean $7,500, but time is running out to file a claim
Summary
AT&T is offering a $177 million settlement to customers affected by two data breaches that exposed personal information. Eligible customers can claim up to $7,500, depending on the extent of their data exposure and documented losses. The settlement is divided into two classes: AT&T 1 and AT&T 2, with different maximum claim amounts. The deadline to submit a claim online or by mail is December 18, 2025. Claimants can receive tiered payments or pursue documented losses, but payment amounts will be affected by the total number of claims and associated costs. AT&T denies liability but agreed to the settlement to avoid further litigation, and accepting a payment waives the right to sue over these incidents. Customers can verify their eligibility and submit claims through the official settlement website or by calling the administrator's hotline.
