AT&T will pay $177 million to settle lawsuits over two massive data breaches that exposed personal information of nearly 181 million customers. The 2019 breach affected 73 million people, exposing Social Security numbers and birth dates. The 2024 breach compromised phone records of 109 million customers through cloud provider Snowflake.

Customers affected by the 2019 breach can claim up to $5,000 with documented losses, while 2024 breach victims can receive up to $2,500. Those without proof of losses will receive smaller payments from the settlement pools. People hit by both breaches can file separate claims.

The deadline to file claims is November 18, 2025. Payments should begin early next year once the settlement receives final court approval.
