A federal judge granted final approval on October 2, 2026, to a $177 million class-action settlement over two AT&T data breaches in 2024. The approval was officially reported on October 4, 2026.
The settlement resolves litigation brought by customers whose data was compromised in the breaches. Affected customers are expected to receive an estimated $6.50 to $40 per claim.
Payouts will depend on the type of data exposed. People whose Social Security numbers were involved are eligible for higher payments.
No payment distribution date has been announced. Potential appeals could affect the timing.
AT&T agreed to the settlement without admitting wrongdoing.
