Customers Could Receive up to $7,500 in AT&T Settlement

Recent data breaches at AT&T could prove to be extremely costly for the company. The telecommunications giant will be paying millions to customers as part of a class action settlement, and some customers could receive thousands. The Kroll Settlement Administration says that in 2024, customers had their sensitive information leaked on the dark web. This breach in March included addresses, social security numbers, birthdates, passcodes, billing numbers and phone numbers. Another breach later that year in July compounded the issue. In that instance, more customer data was collected, including call logs for individual customers. The settlement website says that customers can submit a claim by Thursday, November 18. If they submit documents that prove they were affected by the data breaches, they could receive up to $5,000. Additionally, those who had their Social Security numbers leaked as part of the first data breach can apply for a tiered payout system. Tier one in that system is five times higher than tier two's amount. Customers who were affected in the second data breach could also be eligible for up to $2,500, putting the total payment for customers at as much as $7,500. Back in 2024, the AT&T data breaches were noted as a significant lapse in cybersecurity, putting thousands of customers at risk of having their identities or finances compromised. 'These are incredibly sensitive pieces of personal information and, when taken together at the scale of information that appears to be included in this AT&T breach, they present a massive NSA-like window into Americans' activity,' said University of Toronto researcher John Scott-Railton about the breach. Scott-Railton called the hack a "megabreach" in an interview with CNBC, and other experts agreed that the amount of sensitive information involved was severe. 'If you have somebody's metadata, you know when they go to work, where they go to work, where they sleep every night,' said Thomas Rid, professor in the cybersecurity studies institute at Johns Hopkins. In total, AT&T is expected to pay $177 million to customers as a result of the settlement. As the end of the year and the deadline to file approaches, we'll see if those predictions turn out to be accurate.

This Company Looks Like a Dividend Champion in the Making, and It Could Announce Another Dividend Hike Next Month

Key Points Dividend stocks can be great ways for investors to generate passive income. Good dividend companies generate enough money to cover and raise their dividends. This company just initiated its dividend in 2023 but has already hiked it significantly. 10 stocks we like better than T-Mobile US › Dividend stocks can be great ways for investors to generate reliable, passive income. But finding the right ones is more difficult than you might think. That's because stocks with ultra-high dividend yields may look appealing but have underlying issues. For instance, if a company struggles and its stock sinks significantly, the dividend yield will rise, but the company could still be at risk of a dividend cut. It's key for investors to analyze company financials and make sure the company can continue to generate enough free cash flow and earnings to not only cover the dividend but also increase the dividend annually. I've found one company could be a Dividend Champion in the making and may even announce another dividend hike next month. Business is thriving It's one of the larger mobile carriers in the U.S., and T-Mobile's (NASDAQ: TMUS) business has been thriving. Investors have rewarded the stock, sending shares up over 14% this year as of Aug. 14. For the second-quarter, T-Mobile reported diluted earnings per share of $2.84, up 14% year over year. Total revenue grew nearly 7%. The solid performance was driven by new customer growth, including postpaid net customer additions of 1.7 million, the company's highest second-quarter additions ever and industry leading, according to T-Mobile. The company also grew 5G broadband customers by 454,000, up 12% year over year and industry-leading growth as well. T-Mobile's success in part stems from its marketing strategy of being the "un-carrier," which essentially means trying to be the opposite of a traditional carrier by eliminating hidden fees and not forcing customers to sign longer-term, more prohibitive contracts. A newer dividend that could grow over time T-Mobile is a relatively new dividend company, having only initiated its dividend in 2023. The quarterly dividend started at $0.65, but management hiked it to $0.88 in September of 2024, representing a 35% increase. That puts the annual yield at 1.40% at the current stock price, which is not a high dividend yield, but a quick start for a company that's been paying a dividend for less than two years. The good news is the dividend looks more than sustainable for now and there's room to grow it. The company has a trailing 12-month free cash flow yield of 4.25% and a payout ratio of nearly 31%. To put that in terms that are easier to understand, T-Mobile has paid out about $3.78 billion of dividends over the last year. Management is guiding for $17.8 billion of free cash flow this year at the midpoint of its guidance, plenty to cover the dividend payout. Another dividend hike could also be coming. When the company initiated the dividend at the end of 2023, management said their intent was to grow it 10% annually. The company declared its last dividend hike in September of 2024, meaning another hike could come next month based on the limited history we have. Is T-Mobile a Dividend Champion in the making? A Dividend Champion is a company that has raised its quarterly dividend for at least 25 straight years. T-Mobile is off to a good start but certainly has a long way to go, so it's no guarantee that it will become a Dividend Champion. There are some risks including high debt. At the end of the second quarter, T-Mobile had $6.4 billion of short-term debt and over $75 billion of long-term debt. Meanwhile, cash and cash equivalents were roughly $10.3 billion. Part of the reason for this debt pile is due to all of the acquisitions T-Mobile has made in recent years, with eight acquisitions since 2021. This is certainly something for investors to keep an eye on. However, the acquisitions as well as momentum in the business have translated into higher revenue and free-cash-flow growth. While I can't predict whether T-Mobile will become a Dividend Champion in 23 years, I like the trajectory of the dividend right now and certainly think the company is on the right path.

Trump Media's $2 Billion Bitcoin Purchase Creates Stock Surge

President Donald Trump's media group, Trump Media, made headlines in July when it purchased a staggering $2 billion in bitcoin and securities. I Asked ChatGPT To Explain TRUMP Crypto to Me Like I'm 12: Read Next: Trump Media made the bold move as a follow-up to its announcement made in May, when the company declared it had raised $2.5 billion in funding to make the purchase — all part of a plan for Trump Media to become a bitcoin treasury company, as reported by Yahoo Finance. Trump Media's Plan Devin Nunes, CEO and president of Trump Media, described the purchase as a means to '[rigorously implement] our publicly announced strategy and fulfilling our bitcoin treasury plan. These assets help insure our company's financial freedom, help protect us against discrimination by financial institutions, and will create synergies with the utility token we're planning to introduce across the Truth Social ecosphere.' Trump Media's massive bitcoin purchase not only shored up enough crypto to facilitate the company's bitcoin treasury plan, it also gave shares of Trump Media a boost in the stock market. Following the $2 billion acquisition, shares of Trump Media increased by 5.6% — or $1.04, to an overall total of $19.71 — after a bumpy 2025 that has seen the company's stock dip by 42%, per CBS News. Learn More: What It Means for You Considering investing in Trump Media? Despite its previously-rocky standing on the stock market, having its own bitcoin treasury could radically benefit the company for investors. Specifically, if bitcoin values continue to rise, so too would Trump Media's holdings, thus benefitting Trump Media shareholders. Additionally, having that massive level of liquidity helps to protect (in some degree) Trump Media investors from the kind of significant loses it had suffered earlier this year, per AInvest. Also, as Fortune noted, purchasing shares of Trump Media allows for a kind of indirect exposure to the crypto and digital-asset market, in case you're a skittish investor who doesn't want to take the full dive into the world of crypto. It's important to remember that Trump Media, President Trump and bitcoin remain volatile entities, especially in this era of economic and regulatory uncertainty. Investing in Trump Media would definitely be a speculative move — you should be aware of yours risk tolerance before betting on such combustive (but potentially rewarding) investments. What this means for investors is that while Trump Media will continue to be a high-risk investment, its level of high-reward has increased significantly with its efforts to create its own bitcoin treasury — and the financial independence that level of liquidity provides.
