What's the AT&T Data Breach Class Action Settlement?

According to reporting from CNET, the AT&T data breach settlement covers up to 182 million people across two incidents. The first breach affected about 73 million current and former customers, while the second impacted around 109 million. Some individuals may be part of both, so the total number of unique claimants may be lower.

What is the Total Settlement Amount?

The settlement fund will be used to pay qualifiying class action members, cover the costs of settlement administration, and pay any attorney fees, legal costs, or service awards approved by the court for a total of $177,000,000 broken down into two separate settlement funds:

• AT&T 1 Settlement Fund: $149 million in cash to resolve all claims related to the AT&T 1 Data Incident.

How Much Can I Get Paid?

• AT&T Data Breach 1: Up to $5,000 for documented losses, or a pro rata share of the $149 million fund (Tier 1: 5x Tier 2 if SSN exposed; Tier 2: if no SSN exposed).

• AT&T Data Breach 2: Up to $2,500 for documented losses, or a pro rata share of the $28 million fund (Tier 3). Final amounts depend on number of valid claims and deductions for fees and costs.

What's the Difference Between the Two AT&T Data Breaches?

Data Breach 1:
This breach was announced on March 30, 2024, and involved AT&T-specific fields contained in a data set released on the dark web. The exposed personally identifiable information may include names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, account passcodes, billing account numbers, and Social Security numbers.

Data Breach 2:
This breach was announced on July 12, 2024, and involved limited data illegally downloaded from an AT&T workspace on a third-party cloud platform hosted by Snowflake. The exposed personally sensitive and identifiable information include telephone numbers of current and former AT&T customers, telephone numbers interacted with, counts of those interactions, aggregate call durations, and for a small subset of individuals, one or more cell site identification numbers associated with the interactions.

How to Determine Which Breach You Are Part Of

You are part of:

• AT&T Settlement Class 1 if your personally identifiable information (e.g., name, address, SSN, etc.) were included in the AT&T 1 Data Incident.
• AT&T Settlement Class 2 if you are an AT&T Account Owner or Line/End User whose telephone-related data was involved in the AT&T 2 Data Incident.

Overlap Settlement Class Members are those that are involved in both breaches. If you are unsure which AT&T data breach you are part of, you can contact the Settlement Administrator directly.

How Do I File a Claim?

You can submit an AT&T Data Incident Settlement Claim For online on the official settlement website or by mail by the deadline of November 18, 2025. For documented loss payments you may be required to provide additional supporting documentation.

Is Proof Required to File a Claim?

You must provide your notice ID as well as your full name or AT&T accuont number. Notices will begin to go out to impacted customers on August 4 and be wrapped up by October 17, according to court documents. An AT&T spokesperson said the company expects settlement notifications to go out to impacted customers this summer, the settlement to be formally approved by the end of 2025 and payments to hit bank accounts by early 2026.

For documented loss payments, you must provide reasonable documentation (e.g., receipts or other non-self-prepared evidence) showing losses traceable to the data incidents.
