AT&T agreed to pay $177 million to settle two class-action lawsuits related to data breaches that targeted AT&T customers in recent years, meaning that impacted parties will soon be eligible to collect part of that settlement.

Two lawsuits were filed against AT&T regarding two data breaches that the Dallas-based telecommunications company had confirmed last year, impacting tens of millions of current and former customers who used the company’s cellphone service.
