DALLAS – (WBAP/KLIF) – AT&T will pay consumers in a class action settlement after data breaches last year. Information on the lawsuit was revealed this week, with the company settling the case for a total of $177 million to those users affected.
The company was accused of two separate data breach incidents in 2024 that led to the lawsuit. On March 30, 2024, some data, including addresses, social security numbers, birthdates, passcodes, billing numbers and phone numbers, were reported released on the dark web. Additional data was then downloaded on July 12th 2024, including customers as well as other users associated with the accounts, and numbers they interacted with.
