AT&T has been involved in a class-action settlement related to data breaches impacting over 70 million of its current and former customers. The breaches exposed sensitive personal information, including names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, account passwords, billing account numbers, and Social Security numbers. The AT&T 1 Data Incident pertains to the exposure of personally identifying information, while the AT&T 2 Data Incident covers phone usage records and contacts.
Preliminary approval for this settlement was granted in June, with notifications sent out to affected customers via postcards and emails starting in August. These notifications included a Class Member ID, which is necessary for filing a claim. Claimants have until November 18 to submit their claims, which can potentially yield compensation up to $7,500. This amount varies based on documented losses related to each incident, with specified maximums for claims related to breaches in 2019 and later, and those occurring on or after April 14, 2024.
If you believe you are eligible for this settlement and have not yet received a notification, it’s vital to check both your inbox and spam folders for an email from “attsettlement@e.emailksa.com.” If you haven’t received communication and think you should, it’s advisable to contact the settlement administrator, Kroll Settlement Administration, either through their website or by calling 833-890-4930. When contacting them, provide your name, contact details, and a brief explanation of why you believe you belong to the class and did not receive a claim notification.

For individuals residing in Oahu, this service can simplify the process of renewing vehicle registration.
Furthermore, a heartwarming anecdote from a dining experience at Chili’s Kahala reflects the spirit of generosity in the community. Two seniors expressed gratitude after an anonymous person paid their bill, showcasing a simple yet profound act of kindness.
