Data from around 109 mn US customer accounts illegally downloaded: AT&T

AT&T said Friday that data from about 109 million customer accounts containing records of calls and texts from 2022 was illegally downloaded in April.

The U.S. telecom company said the FBI is investigating and at least one person has been arrested after AT&T call logs were copied from its workspace on a third-party cloud platform.

AT&T said the compromised data includes files containing AT&T records of calls and texts of nearly all of AT&T’s cellular and AT&T’s landline customers interacting with those cellular numbers between May 2022 and October 2022 but does not contain the content of calls or texts or personal information such as social security numbers.
