AT&T customers in 2022 likely had their data exposed in a major cyberattack. That's according to federal filings from the company and the U.S. Department of Justice. Despite the service provider finding out about the hack a few months ago, DOJ asked AT&T to keep the data breach quiet.
Now, we know that the breach affected 110 million AT&T customers, including those who were using their wireless and landline services from May to October of 2022. "This is not the first data breach revealed by a major phone company and it won't be the last," said Sen. Ron Wyden in a statement to Scripps News."These hacks, which are almost always the result of inadequate cybersecurity, won't end until the FCC starts holding the carriers accountable for their negligence. These companies will keep shortchanging customer security until it hits them in the wallet with billion-dollar fines.
