AT&T says hackers stole data from 'nearly all' of its customers

AT&T Discloses Massive Data Breach: Hackers Steal Data from 'Nearly All' Customers AT&T, one of the leading telecommunications companies in the United States, has recently disclosed a massive data breach that has affected "nearly all" of its customers. The breach, which resulted in the unauthorized access of customer data, has prompted an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). According to reports, hackers managed to steal call and text information from approximately 109 million AT&T customers. The cybersecurity incident has raised concerns about the security measures in place to protect sensitive customer data. In response to the breach, AT&T is working closely with law enforcement agencies and cybersecurity experts to address the issue and enhance the security of its systems. AT&T has assured its customers that no sensitive information like social security numbers or credit card details were compromised in the breach. The stolen data primarily includes phone numbers and dates of communication. However, even with the absence of financial data, the breach still poses a significant threat to customer privacy and opens the door to potential phishing and social engineering attacks. The telecommunications company has urged its customers to remain vigilant and be cautious of any suspicious activities or communication. It advises customers to avoid clicking on suspicious links, providing personal information to unverified sources, or falling victim to phishing attempts. AT&T has also provided resources and support to assist customers in protecting themselves from potential fraud resulting from the breach.
