AT&T data breach impacts 70 million with unknown amounts of information leaked – By Tawnya Panizzi (Triblive) / March 30, 2024
The personal information of more than 70 million current and former AT&T customers was leaked after a data breach that occurred two weeks ago, the company announced Saturday.
Information could have included names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, email addresses, mailing addresses and AT&T account numbers and passcodes, according to the company.
“It has come to our attention that a number of AT&T passcodes have been compromised,” a statement on the company website read.
But the company does not know exactly where the breach occurred, saying it could have come from a vendor and not AT&T itself: “AT&T does not have evidence of unauthorized access to its systems resulting in theft of the dataset.”
