ORLANDO, Fla. – If you’ve ever been an AT&T customer – even years ago – you may be eligible for part of a major settlement tied to two massive nationwide data breaches .
The payout could be worth thousands of dollars for some, but the deadline to file is coming up fast, and millions of people may not realize they qualify.
Who is affected?
Many former customers may not realize their data was exposed, or that they may be owed money.
This settlement applies to both current and former AT&T customers. Of note to everyone: there is no cutoff date for how long ago you had AT&T as a provider. If you were affected by either breach, you’re potentially eligible, even if your account was closed many years back.
Here’s the backstory: AT&T agreed to pay $177 million to settle claims
