Massive AT&T Data Breach Exposes Phone Records of 110 Million Customers

Hackers accessed call and text metadata, raising serious privacy and security concerns.

  • The breach affected nearly all AT&T cellular and landline customers, including those using AT&T's network through mobile virtual network operators.
  • Compromised data includes phone numbers, call durations, and cell site identification numbers, but not the content of calls or texts.
  • AT&T delayed public notification twice due to national security concerns, collaborating with the FBI and DOJ.
  • The data was stolen from a third-party cloud platform, Snowflake, which has faced multiple breaches recently.
  • AT&T is notifying affected customers and providing resources to protect their information.
