Data of nearly all AT&T customers downloaded in security breach

A security breach in 2022 compromised the data of nearly all of AT&T’s cellular customers and others using the company’s wireless network, as well as landline customers who interacted with cellular numbers. The data of nearly all customers of the telecommunications giant AT&T was downloaded to a third-party platform in a 2022 security breach, the company said Friday, as cyberattacks against businesses, schools and health systems continue to spread globally. “The data does not contain the content of calls or texts, personal information such as Social Security numbers, dates of birth, or other personally identifiable information,” AT&T said Friday. The compromised data also doesn’t include some information typically seen in usage details, such as the time stamp of calls or texts, the company said, or customer names.
