AT&T has agreed to a $177 million class-action settlement following two major data breaches that affected customers in 2024. The breaches included one that exposed data from approximately 73 million accounts. Eligible current and former customers can file claims for compensation, with payouts potentially reaching up to $7,500 per individual. This settlement comes amid broader scrutiny of telecom companies, as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fined T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T nearly $200 million last year for illegally selling customer location data, with T-Mobile's fine recently upheld on appeal.
