AT&Ts $177 million class-action settlement payout is coming, but probably wont change your life
AT&T settled a $177 million class-action lawsuit last year, agreeing to pay customers impacted by two separate data breaches.
AT&T has reached a $177 million settlement to compensate customers affected by two data breaches in 2019 and 2022. However, the settlement may not significantly impact individual claimants. The settlement fund will be divided among several million people, with those in Tier 1 receiving around $39-$40, Tier 2 around $7.50-$8.10, and Tier 3 around $6.50-$7.10 each.
Claimants who suffered actual losses could receive up to $5,000 for Tier 1 and $2,500 for Tier 2. The deadline for submitting claims was December 18, and evidence for higher payouts was due on September 8. If not submitted, there is no opportunity to claim.
