- T-Mobile subscribers affected by the 2021 data breach will finally get settlement benefits later this year.
- A recent update on the settlement website states that payment distribution is expected to begin in April 2025.
T-Mobile suffered a massive data breach in 2021 that exposed the social security numbers, phone numbers, physical addresses, and driver’s licenses of approximately 76 million subscribers. This led to a class action lawsuit that T-Mobile settled a year later, promising to pay $350 million to affected subscribers and lawyers. If your information was leaked in the breach, you will finally get your portion of the settlement later this year.
A recent update on the T-Mobile Data Breach Settlement website (via Reddit) states: “All court proceedings are now complete. The distribution of settlement payments is expected to begin in April 2025.” If you were a T-Mobile customer in 2021 and want to confirm your eligibility for benefits, you can contact the Settlement Administrator on the settlement website or call 1-833-512-2314.
