Huge AT&T data breach

2024-07-12 18:37:36.037962+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

AT&T says criminals stole phone records of ‘nearly all’ customers in new data breach

Stolen data includes millions of AT&T customer phone numbers, calling and text records, and location-related data.

Some speculation that maybe this involved a breach of their law enforcement portal data, this appears to be via AT&T's use of Snowflake, which "...Provides Faster Insights While Lowering Estimated Annual Costs by 84%", and, of course, observations except for the poorest 10%, phone number is a pretty solid long-term identifier, so, yeah, if you communicate with someone on AT&T, your social graph just leaked.

With the regular Nixle alerts about AT&T's 911 service going up and down like a horse on a merry go round, ya gotta wonder what's happening with AT&T these days.
