AT&T has reached a massive $177 million settlement for two major data breaches that exposed millions of customers' personal information. The 2019 breach affected 73 million people, exposing Social Security numbers and birth dates. A separate 2024 hack accessed phone records of 109 million customers through cloud provider Snowflake.
Customers can now file claims through November 18, 2025. Those who can prove documented losses may receive up to $5,000 for the 2019 breach and $2,500 for the 2024 incident. People affected by both breaches can claim compensation from each settlement. Even without proof of loss, eligible customers will receive cash payments based on which breach affected them.
