Were you caught up in the two recent AT&T breaches? If so, you might be eligible for part of a $177 million settlement.

In June, a US district judge in Texas gave preliminary approval to the settlement. Details about how to file a claim and how much you can get were recently finalized.

According to court documents, the settlement fund consists of $149 million to address a major data leak in 2019, which allowed cybercriminals to exploit the data for years from both former and existing subscribers. Last March, AT&T finally confirmed the breach, sparking a wave of class-action lawsuits alleging the company had failed to safeguard the data of 51 million users, including their names, Social Security numbers, and dates of birth. 

The rest of the $28 million is meant to address a second incident involving a hacker breaching AT&T’s account with cloud storage provider Snowflake in April 2024. This enabled the cybercriminal to access call and text records for nearly all customers. Another round of class-action lawsuits followed, alleging corporate neglect, though AT&T said no customer names were included in the stolen information. 

You're eligible for a payout if your data was compromised in one or both of the two data breaches mentioned above. Emails are going out about the settlement; check your spam folders for an email from Kroll Settlement Administration LLC (via attsettlement@e.emailksa.com), which will include the class member ID you'll need to file a claim. If you think you're affected, but haven't received anything about the settlement, you can also use the contact form on the settlement website or call (833) 890-4930 to double-check.
