AT&T Discloses New Data Breach by Snowflake Hackers

Today, AT&T revealed that it fell victim to a significant hacking operation that compromised customer records on its network from May 1 to October 30, 2022. This breach, separate from the one reported in April affecting 71 million subscribers, was orchestrated by hackers targeting a third-party cloud service provider named Snowflake.

Key Points:
– No names, addresses, or Social Security Numbers were stolen, only call logs and phone numbers.
– Call and text records identify interactions between AT&T numbers during the breach period.
– The data breach includes some numbers and call logs dating back to January of the same year.
– Exposure of call logs could lead to privacy concerns if matched with names and addresses for potential sale on the Dark Web.

AT&T reassures customers that the data is not publicly available at this time and vows to notify affected users promptly. The company expresses regret over the incident and emphasizes its commitment to safeguarding customer information.
