Want more insights like this?
AT&T is settling two massive data breaches for $177 million after hackers exposed personal information of over 170 million customers. The first breach in 2019 leaked Social Security numbers, birth dates, and names of 73 million people, while a 2024 hack accessed phone records of 109 million customers through AT&T's cloud provider Snowflake.
Customers affected by the 2019 breach can claim up to $5,000 with documented losses, or receive tiered payments based on whether their SSN was compromised. Those hit by the 2024 breach can get up to $2,500 with proof of losses, or share the remaining settlement funds equally.
The deadline to file claims is November 18, 2025. Customers affected by both breaches can file separate claims for each incident.
