You could still be eligible to receive up to $7,500 from AT&T if you don’t miss the filing deadline

A pair of data breaches against AT&T and its subscribers in 2019 and 2024 led to a class action settlement of $177 million. If you were an AT&T subscriber during the attacks, you are entitled to file a claim for as much as $5,000 for the first episode and up to $2,500 for the second one. The actual amount you will receive will depend on the amount of money in the two accounts and the number of claims for each account approved by the court. If you were an AT&T subscriber during both breaches, you could, in theory, receive a big fat AT&T check for $7,500. However, most will receive checks for a much lower amount.

AT&T created two separate accounts, one for each data breach

The two data breaches stole AT&T subscribers’ personal data including call and text records, Social Security numbers, names, addresses, and date of birth data. In other words, this was not a “turn away, nothing to see here” moment. 

As we previously pointed out, if the court determines that you are eligible to receive a check, the actual amount will depend on things like the number of claims received for each account. You have a better chance of receiving a bigger check if you can prove that you incurred some out-of-pocket expenses due to the data breaches. If you can’t prove these losses, you still might be able to share some of the funds remaining after claimants with documented losses are paid.
