• AT&T has suffered a major data breach that affects nearly all customers.
• The breach occurred this April and leaked call and text records of about 109 million customer accounts.
• AT&T has since closed the point of access and says that it does not believe the data is publicly available.

AT&T today confirmed a massive breach that affects nearly all of its users. The carrier says that hackers managed to copy customer data, including call records and texts, from 2022 to a third-party cloud platform this April.

AT&Ts internal investigation has revealed that the compromised data includes call records and texts of nearly all of its cellular customers, customers of mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) using AT&Ts wireless network, and AT&Ts landline customers who interacted with those customers between May 1, 2022 October 31, 2022. The leak also includes records from January 2, 2023, but for a very small number of customers.
