AT&T Customers Can Claim Up to $7,500 for Data Breaches, but You Need to File Soon

AT&T has agreed to a $177 million settlement over data breaches that affected its customers. Eligible customers can claim up to $7,500 in compensation, but they need to file their claims by the end of next month. The settlement covers data breaches that occurred between 2013 and 2019, where customer information was allegedly accessed without authorization. AT&T has denied any wrongdoing, but the company has agreed to the settlement to avoid further litigation. Customers who were affected by the data breaches can submit claims for reimbursement of any losses or expenses they incurred as a result of the incidents. The amount they can receive depends on the severity of the impact on them. To be eligible for the settlement, customers must file their claims by the deadline. The process involves providing documentation and proof of the harm they suffered. After the deadline, the claims will be reviewed and payments will be issued to eligible claimants.
