Millions of AT&T customers can now file claims in a $177 million legal settlement related to two data breaches and it could provide up to $7,500 in compensation per person. AT&T agreed to a $177 million settlement this year after a pair of data breaches were confirmed in 2024.

Claims are open for millions of customers including Pennsylvania and Delaware residents affected by two massive AT&T data breaches in recent years.

The first breach, disclosed in March 2024, compromised the personal details of 73 million current and former AT&T customers — including birth dates and Social Security numbers — after the data surfaced on the dark web. The second, revealed in July 2024, saw hackers infiltrate a third-party cloud platform, unlawfully downloading call and text records belonging to “nearly all” of AT&T’s mobile subscribers.
