Well, this isn’t good.
AT&T has admitted to a data breach affecting 73 million current and former customers after initially denying the leaked data originated from them. That’s bad. According to the statement put out by AT&T the following number of people have been affected:
- 7.6 million current AT&T account holders
- Approximately 65.4 million former account holders
The worst part is that the data is floating around a hacker forum on the dark web.
Lovely.
AT&T has set up a new webpage reporting the incident, with tips on how customers can keep their account secure. And on top of that, the page says that the passcodes for the 7.6 million AT&T customers have been reset because they were pwned.
It really seems to me that AT&T is really doing its best to try and minimize this whole incident. Which means that this could really be worse than we know.
Stay tuned for more on this story.
