AT&T recently announced the discovery of a data breach that exposed sensitive information of millions of its current and former customers. The telecommunications company revealed that a dataset containing data, including Social Security numbers and passcodes, for approximately 7.6 million current account holders and 65.4 million former account holders was found on the dark web.
The origin of the data, whether from AT&T or one of its vendors, remains unknown, prompting the initiation of an investigation by the Dallas-based company. AT&T has taken steps to notify affected customers and is working to address the breach.
