Millions of T-Mobile customers affected by a massive 2021 data breach have begun receiving payments from a $350 million class action settlement. The breach, which exposed the personal information of 76 million U.S. customers, included sensitive data such as names, addresses, and Social Security numbers.
Settlement payments range from $25 to $100, with some customers eligible for up to $25,000 for documented losses. In addition to monetary compensation, the settlement provides two years of free identity protection services to help safeguard affected individuals.
T-Mobile agreed to the settlement in July 2022 without admitting wrongdoing and has since improved its cybersecurity measures to prevent future breaches. Distribution of payments is ongoing and will continue over the coming weeks, with recipients receiving either digital deposits or paper checks based on their claim preferences.
