**Less Than 2 Weeks Left: How to Claim Up to $7,500 From AT&T's $177 Million Data Breach Settlement**
Are you one of the millions affected by AT&T's data breaches in 2019 and 2024? If so, you may be eligible for a share of the $177 million settlement fund. The settlement aims to address two major incidents: a data leak that exposed the sensitive information of 51 million users, including their names, Social Security numbers, and dates of birth; and a second breach that allowed hackers to access call and text records for nearly all customers.
**The First Breach (2019)**
In March 2024, AT&T finally confirmed the 2019 data leak, which occurred when cybercriminals exploited vulnerabilities in the company's systems. The breach exposed the personal data of millions of subscribers, including former and existing customers. Class-action lawsuits followed, alleging that AT&T had failed to adequately safeguard its users' information.
**The Second Breach (2024)**
In April 2024, a hacker breached AT&T's account with cloud storage provider Snowflake, enabling them to access call and text records for nearly all customers. Although no customer names were included in the stolen information, law enforcement arrested two alleged hackers involved in the breach. Another round of class-action lawsuits was filed, alleging corporate neglect.
**How Much Money Can You Receive?**
The amount you're entitled to depends on which breach you were impacted by – or if you were affected by both incidents. If your data was compromised in either the 2019 or 2024 breaches, you may be eligible for a payout of up to $7,500.

**What If You Want to Sue Individually?**

AT&T stated that while they deny the allegations, they agreed to the settlement "to avoid the expense and uncertainty of protracted litigation." The carrier expects the settlement to receive approval by the end of the year.
