  • The hacker believed to be behind the massive AT&T breach has been arrested.
  • The culprit appears to have stolen data from as many as 165 companies.
  • They are expected to be extradited to the US to face trial.
It was a few months ago, but you may remember the data breach AT&T suffered this earlier year. It was a massive leak that affected almost all of the carrier’s customers. A new report says that the hacker believed to be behind the breach has now been identified and arrested.

Between April 14 and April 25, a hacker managed to download the call and text records of nearly every AT&T customer. The firm reportedly learned of the hack on April 19. AT&T later blamed the breach on a compromised third-party cloud platform. That third-party cloud company goes by the name Snowflake and it was reportedly used to attack as many as 165 companies, including Live Nation, Advanced Auto Parts, and more.
