Today — November 18, 2025 — is the final day to file a claim in AT&T’s massive $177 million class action settlement over two 2024 data breaches that exposed millions of customers’ personal info, including Social Security numbers, call records, and more. If you were an AT&T customer (current or former) affected by the March or July incidents, you could get hundreds or even thousands — up to $7,500 if impacted by both and you document losses. Don’t wait: claims must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. tonight.
The Two 2024 AT&T Data Breaches Explained
- March 2024 Breach (AT&T 1 Class): Hackers posted data from ~73 million accounts (current + former) on the dark web, including names, addresses, phone numbers, birthdates, SSNs, and passcodes.
- July 2024 Breach (AT&T 2 Class): Call and text records for ~110 million customers were illegally downloaded from a third-party platform (no content of calls/texts, but numbers, dates, and durations).
AT&T denies wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid trial. The court gave preliminary approval; final hearing is December 3, 2025.
How Much Could You Get?
Payments aren’t automatic — you must file a claim. Amounts depend on your class and proof:
| Breach Affected | Documented Losses (with proof) | Alternative Tier Payment (no proof needed) |
|---|---|---|
| March 2024 Only | Up to $5,000 | Tier 1 or 2 (higher if SSN exposed; estimated $100–$500+) |
| July 2024 Only | Up to $2,500 | Tier 3 (pro-rata share; likely $50–$300) |
| Both Breaches | Up to $7,500 total | Combo of tiers above |
Actual checks will be lower after fees and based on total valid claims. Payments expected in 2026 if approved.
