AT&T breached. Data in 73 million customer accounts now on dark web
AT&T confirmed on Saturday that a total of 73 million current and former customer accounts were leaked to the dark web around two weeks ago. The company said it is assessing the breach and whether the data, which includes Social Security numbers, came from AT&T itself or one of its vendors. The data appears to be from 2019 or earlier, cybersecurity experts hired by AT&T to do a "robust investigation" found, affecting 7.6 million current account holders, and approximately 65.4 million former account holders.
