IF YOU ARE A PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES WHOSE DATA ELEMENTS WERE INCLUDED IN THE AT&T 1 DATA INCIDENT THAT WAS ANNOUNCED ON MARCH 30, 2024, AND/OR ARE AN ACCOUNT OWNER OR LINE OR END USER WHOSE DATA ELEMENTS WERE INVOLVED IN THE AT&T 2 DATA INCIDENT THAT WAS ANNOUNCED ON JULY 12, 2024, YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE SETTLEMENT CLASS MEMBER BENEFITS FROM A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT.
On March 30, 2024, AT&T announced that AT&T-specific fields were contained in a data set released on the dark web (“AT&T 1 Data Incident”). Following AT&T’s announcement of the AT&T 1 Data Incident, lawsuits were filed against AT&T in state and federal courts across the country. The lawsuits were consolidated before Judge Ada E. Brown in the Northern District of Texas in June 2024 and captioned, In re AT&T Inc. Customer Data Sec. Breach Litigation, MDL Docket No. 3:24-md-03114-E.
Then, on July 12, 2024, AT&T announced a second data incident where certain limited data had been illegally downloaded from an AT&T workspace on a third-party cloud platform hosted by Snowflake, Inc. (“AT&T 2 Data Incident”). Following AT&T’s announcement of the AT&T 2 Data Incident, lawsuits were filed against various entities including AT&T entities. The lawsuits were consolidated before Judge Brian Morris in the District of Montana in October 2024 and captioned In Re Snowflake, Inc. Data Breach Litigation, MDL Docket No. 3:24-md-3126.
The Parties in the lawsuits concerning both the AT&T 1 Data Incident and the AT&T 2 Data Incident (together, “Actions”) agreed in March 2025 to settle the Actions together in the Northern District of Texas before Judge Ada E. Brown. On May 30, 2025, the AT&T 1 Plaintiffs and AT&T 2 Plaintiffs filed the Consolidated Class Action Complaint against AT&T, asserting claims that arose out of the Data Incidents.
The Parties have settled the Actions in their entirety without any admission of liability or wrongdoing.
Who is a Settlement Class Member? There are two Settlement Classes:
- AT&T 1 Settlement Class: All living persons in the United States whose Data Elements (which include some combination of names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, account passcodes, billing account numbers, and Social Security numbers) were included in the AT&T 1 Data Incident, announced on March 30, 2024; AND
- AT&T 2 Settlement Class: AT&T Account Owners or Line or End Users whose AT&T 2 Data Elements were involved in the AT&T 2 Data Incident. AT&T 2 Data Elements means telephone numbers of current and former AT&T customers, including, but not limited to, Account Owners or Line Users, which may have been accessible in the AT&T 2 Data Incident, along with the telephone numbers with which those customers interacted, counts of those interactions, aggregate call durations for a day or month, and for a small subset of individuals, one or more cell site identification numbers associated with the interactions.
Settlement Class Members will be eligible to receive Settlement Class Member Benefits based on the Settlement Class(es) they are in:
- AT&T 1 Settlement Class: All AT&T 1 Settlement Class Members are eligible for either a Documented Loss Cash Payment or a Tier 1 or Tier 2 Cash Payment as follows:
- Documented Loss Cash Payment – Each AT&T 1 Settlement Class Member may submit a Claim for a Documented Loss Cash Payment of up to $5,000 for losses that occurred in 2019 or later, upon presentation of documentation that the losses are fairly traceable to the AT&T 1 Data Incident; OR
- Tier Cash Payment – As an alternative to a Documented Loss Cash Payment, each AT&T 1 Settlement Class Member may submit a Claim for a Tier Cash Payment. A Tier Cash Payment is a pro rata share of the AT&T 1 Net Settlement Fund cash (the funds left after payment of Settlement Administration Costs, Attorneys’ Fees, Costs, and Service Awards). There are two types of Tier Cash Payments (Tier 1 Cash Payment and Tier 2 Cash Payment) and your eligibility for one or the other is based on whether you are a Tier 1 Settlement Class Member or a Tier 2 Settlement Class Member.
- Tier 1 Cash Payment – An AT&T 1 Settlement Class Member who had their Social Security Number (“SSN”) included in the AT&T 1 Data Incident (also known as a “Tier 1 Settlement Class Member”), is eligible to make a Claim for a Tier 1 Cash Payment. Tier 1 Cash Payments shall be five (5) times the amount of a Tier 2 Cash Payment;
- Tier 2 Cash Payment – An AT&T 1 Settlement Class Member who had their Data Elements included in the AT&T 1 Data Incident, but not their SSN, is eligible to make a Claim for a Tier 2 Cash Payment.
The amount of money that will be available for Settlement Class Member Cash Payments is unknown at this time and will be based upon the total value of all Valid Claims received, the Settlement Administration Costs, and the amount of Court-awarded attorneys’ fees, costs, and Service Awards.
- AT&T 2 Settlement Class: All AT&T 2 Settlement Class Members are eligible for a Documented Loss Cash Payment, and some Settlement Class Members may alternatively choose a Tier 3 Cash Payment.
- Documented Loss Cash Payment – Each AT&T 2 Settlement Class Member may submit a Claim for a Documented Loss Cash Payment of up to $2,500 per AT&T 2 Settlement Class Member for losses that occurred on or after April 14, 2024, upon presentation of documentation that the losses are fairly traceable to the AT&T 2 Data Incident. Account Owners may submit Claims for themselves and on behalf of their End or Line Users.
- Tier 3 Cash Payment – As an alternative to a Documented Loss Cash Payment, Account Owners may submit a Claim for a Tier 3 Cash Payment. A Tier 3 Cash Payment is a pro rata share of the AT&T 2 Net Settlement Fund cash (the funds left after payment of Settlement Administration Costs, Attorneys’ Fees, Costs, and Service Awards). The Amount of the Net Settlement available for Settlement Class Member distribution is unknown at this time and will be based upon the amount of the Settlement Administration Costs, the amount of attorneys’ fees, costs, and Service Awards, and the number of Valid Claims received from Settlement Class Members.
- Overlap Settlement Class Member: An Overlap Settlement Class Member is eligible for Settlement Class Member Benefits as both an AT&T 1 Settlement Class Member and an AT&T 2 Settlement Class Member. If claiming for a Documented Loss Cash Payment for the AT&T 1 Data Incident and a Documented Loss Cash Payment for the AT&T 2 Data Incident, the documentation for each Documented Loss Cash Payment must be unique, meaning a Settlement Class Member may only use the information supporting a Documented Loss Cash Payment once.
