AT&T says ‘nearly all’ of its customers’ call and text data has been leaked in massive security breach

AT&T suffered a massive data breach that saw data from ‘nearly all’ of its customers’ accounts illegally downloaded, the company has confirmed. 

The compromised data included records of calls and texts of 110 million wireless subscribers and landline customers over a five month period in 2022, making the hack one of the biggest breaches of private communications data in recent history.

Although the exposed data did not include customer names, there are ‘publicly available online tools’ capable of connecting numbers with people’s identities, the company said.

AT&T admitted it first learned about the hack in April, but is just now notifying former and current customers who were impacted.
