Att breach

Good luck with your legal decision. It can take years and years, even if you can find someone to represent you to get a resolution that you will be happy with. FYI, Verizon, T-Mobile, Experian, Comcast , etc, etc, etc, have also had data breaches in the past.

At&t's breach actually happened in June of 2019.  The breach was not discovered until this year, after which customers were notified.  T-Mobile had a breach in January of 2024 and Verizon in November of 2023. 

The information that was leaked was AT&t account information.    

You're limited to arbitration or small claims.

Unless you can prove the breach was directly responsible to some kind of loss, you have a snowball chance in a frying pan.

And it's not like AT&t gave away the information, they were hacked.  It is concerning they didn't know they were hacked for 5 years.  

Then why are there tons of law suits forming against att? Also, if this is from 2019, how come they’ve just made it public? And also yes, I was directly affected. I had fraudulent charges and had to get go to the bank and get it all worked out and get a new debit card and that’s just recently happened, so if this was from 2019, why is it just now affecting people? This is an att forum so I don’t care what happened with other providers. 

@amberchumley  The point was that ANY carrier/provider can and will be hacked. And they do not immediately announce the breach for obvious reasons. I agree that they should as soon as they can verify the breach and the extent of it but they don't. 

If the data breach was from 2019 that's how the dark web works. A server is hacked and then the info is quietly verified as being useful. It is then sold, in its entirety or in bits and pieces to whoever is willing to pay the price. It is then up that person or persons as to when and how they want to use the data. They may announce it right away and try to get AT&T or whoever to pay to get it back, or just sit on it. If the hack is carefully done, the server managers may not even notice it until the data starts leaking out.
