AT & T payment: up to 5,000 euros compensation according to data breakdown!
In a groundbreaking lawsuit, AT&T has agreed on a comparison of $ 177 million. The lawsuit had been submitted because the company had supposedly failed to protect the personal information of its customers, which led to significant data breakdowns. The customers concerned could now apply for the damage that they have arisen, compensation of up to $ 5,000.
The problems with the company's data protection began with an announcement on March 30, 2024, in which AT&T confirmed that customer data, including addresses, social security numbers and passwords, had been published on the Dark Web in 2019. In addition, on July 12, 2024, the company found that call and text news protocols had been illegally downloaded, which almost all mobile phone customers had affected from May 2022 to October 2022 and some customers on January 2, 2023.

AT&T denies that the administration of customer data or in such cases has occurred to misconduct. Nevertheless, it is believed that the security incidents have affected millions of AT & T customers. In order to accommodate the affected customer, you will be given the opportunity to assert claims for compensation by November 18.
- Kunden, die von der Datenpanne im März 2024 betroffen waren, können bis zu 5.000 Dollar beanspruchen, sofern sie entsprechende Verluste nachweisen können.
- Kunden, die während des Vorfalls im Juli 2024 betroffen waren, können bis zu 2.500 Dollar erhalten, ebenfalls bei Nachweis von Verlusten.
These developments throw a negative light on the ability of companies to adequately protect their customers' sensitive data. In view of the frequency of such incidents in the technology and communication industry, customers and consumer organizations are now looking for better safety precautions. Experts emphasize the need for companies to implement more robust security protocols in order to prevent further such serious incidents.
