AT&T Data Breach Settlement 2025: How to Claim Up to $7,500

Hello! If you were ever an AT&T customer from 2019-2024, you may have some cash coming your way! That's right, AT&T is expected to provide a $177 million settlement for two data breaches and you may be eligible to get up to $7,500. Let's circle back.

What happened?​

Two major occurred at AT&T in March and July data breaches of 2024. The first breach revealed sensitive personal information about nearly 73 million (73,000,000) customers, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and account level information. The second breach revealed call and text message records for nearly all of AT&Ts customers for the time period between May 2022 and October 2022. Although the second breach did not include any content of text messages, or personal identifiers like Social Security numbers, the revelations concerning an individual's text messages and calls are concerning.

How Much Can You Get?​

Depending on which breach affected you - and how much documentation you have - you may be entitled to:

• Up to $5,000 for documented losses relating to the March 2024 breach.
• Up to $2,500 for documented losses relating to the July 2024 breach.
• Up to $7,500 if you were impacted by both breaches, provided you have documentations that are separate.

Even if you don't have documentation, you may still qualify for a smaller payment based on tiered cash payments. The exact amount would be contingent on how many valid claims are submitted and the number of settlement funds available after administrative costs and attorney fees.

Key Dates
