AT&T will be providing up to $2,500 or $5,000 to clients who experienced "fairly traceable" losses due to the breaches.
AT&T had its $117 million settlement for lawsuits over separate data breach incidents approved.
According to Reuters, under the settlement, which is poised to be finalised by the end of the year, AT&T will be providing up to $2,500 or $5,000 to clients who experienced "fairly traceable" losses due to the breaches, with the remainder to be given to those whose information had been compromised.
The settlement also resolves another lawsuit involving the exposure of data from more than 73 million current and former customers.
