[PEB]

AT&T Is toast for sure you're talking about almost all
personal data possibly Sherdog posts lol. Made that up but who knows. Trump needs this information to go after people who oppose him ha ha Russian hackers.

"
Hackers stole six months' worth of call and text message records of nearly every AT&T cellular network customer, the company said Friday, a breach that as the potential to reveal sensitive information about millions of Americans.

The company said in an SEC filing that it learned from an internal investigation that in April, hackers "unlawfully accessed and copied AT&T call logs" that were saved on a third-party cloud platform.'

"
The data contains records of calls and texts between approximately May 1 and Oct. 31, 2022, and on Jan. 2, 2023.

The content of the calls and messages was not compromised and customers' personal information was not accessed — but the records did include phone numbers. Such information is often called metadata, which is information about communications, and considered highly sensitive especially when collected and analyzed at large scales to reveal patterns and connections between people.

AT&T's wireless network has 127 million devices connected to it, according to the company's 2023 annual report.

"While the data does not include customer names, there are often ways, using publicly available online tools, to find the name associated with a specific telephone number," the company said in its SEC filing."

Imagine trying to sort through it.

Cool. I'm sure I'll get another email apology from ATT followed by one a couple weeks later saying they're raising prices again to be "more secure". Just like last time.

This is pretty much normal these days with most corporations & government databases.
Storing logs & customer info on 3rd party cloud providers, yeah, what could possibly go wrong?
This is what happens when you're too cheap to run your own IT.

Great. How can major corporations continue to be so horrible at IT security?

They have so many dick pics in their possession now

Because they're stupid and cheap. Someone from accounting or marketing made a pitch for cloud computing & storage because it's hip and potentially saves a ton of money & resources on IT. Problem is cloud services are inherently insecure and there's far more ways to compromise them compared to an in-house system.

It's crazy how they continue to roll the dice in this day and age. Security through obscurity isn't a good model to build on.

Is it the records or the content?

Curious if this drop includes deleted messages…

Komprimat sp?

Why was ATT even storing this information?

Current analysis indicates that the data includes, for these periods of time, records of calls and texts of nearly all of AT&T’s wireless customers and customers of mobile virtual network operators (“MVNO”) using AT&T’s wireless network. These records identify the telephone numbers with which an AT&T or MVNO wireless number interacted during these periods, including telephone numbers of AT&T wireline customers and customers of other carriers, counts of those interactions, and aggregate call duration for a day or month. For a subset of records, one or more cell site identification number(s) are also included. While the data does not include customer names, there are often ways, using publicly available online tools, to find the name associated with a specific telephone number.

Still all sorts of fun things you can do with this data if you get creative. Social engineering, spamming, blackmailing, sim-swapping, impersonating, stalking, doxxing, etc.

This is what I wonder about office 365 honestly. Once MS has most of the companies in the world signed up. Then they get hacked? Just how many companies emails are going to be downloaded and exposed? Before these hackers would have to go after each and every individual exchange server. Now they just have to target MS.

I read that it was the records of calls/texts made to what numbers, but not the content.

Sherdog fappening.

Don't pretend like you wouldn't look.

FedRAMP will save us . . . right?

RIGHT?!!

It was solar flares that disrupted the service.
