**AT&T to Pay $177 Million in Data Breach Settlement – Deadline Approaching**
**[City, State] – [Date]** – AT&T is set to pay out $177 million to customers affected by two data breaches that occurred in 2024. A class action lawsuit was filed against the telecommunications giant following the incidents, which exposed sensitive customer data including addresses, social security numbers, birthdates, passcodes, billing information, and phone numbers.
The first breach, occurring on March 30, 2024, saw customer information released on the dark web. A second incident on July 12, 2024, involved the illegal download of data from accounts and associated user interactions.
Customers affected by either or both breaches are eligible to file a claim as part of the settlement. The deadline to file is **Tuesday, November 18, 2025**.
To determine eligibility and file a claim, individuals can visit [website address – omitted] and provide their class member ID, email address, AT&T account number, or full name. Additional documentation will be required to substantiate the claim. Those who have not received a confirmation code and notice ID can contact the Kroll Settlement Administration at 833-890-4930 for assistance.
The settlement offers potential payouts up to $7,500 for those affected by both incidents, with a maximum of $5,000 for the March 2024 breach and $2,500 for the July 2024 breach. The actual amount received will depend on the extent of the documented losses and the specific details of each claim.
The lawsuit underscores the increasing importance of data security and the potential financial consequences companies face when customer information is compromised. Affected AT&T customers are urged to file their claims before the quickly approaching deadline.
