The call and text message records from mid-to-late 2022 of tens of millions of AT&T cellphone customers and many non-AT&T customers were exposed in a massive data breach, the telecom company revealed Friday.

 

AT&T said the compromised data includes the telephone numbers of "nearly all" of its cellular customers and the customers of wireless providers that use its network between May 1, 2022 and October 31, 2022.

 

AT&T said it learned on April 19 that a "threat actor claimed to have unlawfully accessed and copied AT&T call logs." The company said it "immediately" hired experts and a subsequent investigation determined hackers had exfiltrated files between April 14 and April 25.

 

The stolen logs also contain a record of every number AT&T customers called or texted – including customers of other wireless networks – the number of times they interacted, and the call duration.

 

AT&T promised to notify current and former customers whose information was involved and provide them resources to protect their information.

Flops. between this and their recent power/service outage. They have no business charging as much as they do.

I hate my AT&T. It's really not worth the price. I would go to mint mobile or some cheap alternative, but the slowing down data speeds concept kinda worries me

They're just horrible. I left them and never looked back. Verizon may not be perfect either, but I haven't had a single issue with billing or service since I've been with them.
