Was your data stolen in the AT&T breaches? You may be entitled to money

AT&T didn't disclose the discovery until early 2024, when the data leaked on the dark web. Then several months later, AT&T revealed attackers also stole call data records for over 100 million wireless customers (fave.co/3GHJAdU) between May 1 and October 31, 2022, including those subscribed to its subsidiaries, Cricket Wireless and H2O Wireless.
