Hackers stole call and text message records on “nearly all” of AT&T’s customers, the communications giant disclosed on Friday. The immense data breach took records of tens of millions of people’s phone use from around a six-month period in 2022, along with a single day in January 2023. According to AT&T, a suspect has been apprehended.
AT&T, which revealed the hack in a filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, stated that the data includes records of which numbers customers texted or called over a certain period of time, as well as the number of times the calls took place. The data doesn’t include other kinds of personal information associated with the numbers or information on what was said during the interactions.
