T-Mobile has agreed to pay $500 million to settle a class-action lawsuit stemming from the 2021 hack<\/a> that it says exposed around 76.6 million US residents\u2019 data. According to the proposed agreement filled on Friday, which you can read in full below, T-Mobile will put $350 million into a settlement fund to go to lawyers, fees, and, of course, to people who file claims. It\u2019ll also be obligated to spend $150 million on \u201cdata security and related technology\u201d during 2022 and 2023, in addition to what it had already budgeted for.<\/p>\n

In August, the company announced<\/a> that its systems had been breached, following reports<\/a> that Social Security numbers, names, addresses, and driver\u2019s license information for over 100 million of its customers was for sale. While the number proved to be slightly inflated, T-Mobile\u2019s figure of how many people were impacted continued to rise<\/a> over the rest of the month. T-Mobile\u2019s CEO called this security breach \u2014 its fifth in four years<\/a> \u2014 \u201chumbling.\u201d<\/p>\n
