Victims of the data breach confirmed in March 2024, which AT&T said affected 7.6 million current account holders and 65.4 million former account holders, can claim payments that top out at $5,000.
Victims of the second breach, confirmed in July of last year to have compromised the data of nearly every customer, can claim up to $2,500.
Top-level claimants affected in both leaks could potentially receive up to $7,500 for verified claims.
What you can do:
Claims can be submitted at the settlement website by clicking on the "Submit Claim" button to the right.
Note: At the time of publishing, the claim function was experiencing a redirect issue. This is likely due to a high volume of users.
Claims can also be submitted by mail at:
AT&T Data Incident Settlement
c/o Kroll Settlement Administration LLC
P.O. Box 5324
New York, NY 10150-5324

For victims of the first breach, settlements will be paid out in two tiers.
Victims of the second breach can claim either "documented loss cash payments" or Tier 3 payments, also depending on how they were affected.
