Nearly all of AT&T’s customers and many non-customers that AT&T wireless numbers interacted with may have been impacted in a massive cybersecurity incident. Cybercriminals illegally downloaded customer data from a third-party platform, gaining access to text and call logs from May 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022. While logs were exposed, the contents of calls and text messages were not. With so many phone numbers compromised, it’s important to be on the lookout for possible phishing and smishing attempts.
Take action to protect your exposed data:
General Information
If you use the same Username and Passwords for multiple websites or apps, change them when there is a breach.
Think before you download apps, click on links, or reply to emails that might be harmful or fraudulent.
Be suspicious of strangers who ask for personal information by email. If they claim to be from your financial institution, the government or a company you do business with, contact the business directly.
Don’t use all or part of your Social Security number as a PIN (Personal Identification Number) for a credit/debit card or an online account username or password.
