AT&T Data Breach Exposes 109 Million Accounts

AT&T revealed a significant data breach affecting 109 million customer accounts, exposing call and text records from 2022. The FBI is investigating, and one arrest has been made. The breach involved data stored on a third-party cloud platform but did not include personal information like social security numbers.

In a startling revelation on Friday, AT&T disclosed a data breach involving approximately 109 million customer accounts. The breach, which occurred in April, compromised records of calls and texts from last year.

The U.S. telecom giant confirmed that the FBI is probing the incident, and at least one individual has been apprehended. The unauthorized access stemmed from AT&T call logs stored on a third-party cloud platform.

While the leaked data encompasses AT&T call and text records from May 2022 to October 2022, it does not include call or text content or highly sensitive personal information, such as social security numbers.
