The hackers behind the massive breach of AT&T data last year hunted through the data for phone numbers and records associated with top officials and their families, including members of the Trump family such as Melania and Ivanka Trump; Kamala Harris; and Marco Rubio’s wife, people familiar with the matter told 404 Media.
The news further stresses the catastrophic nature of the breach, which impacted “nearly all” of AT&T’s customers’ call and text metadata during a certain timeframe. The breach not only impacted the general U.S. public, but also presented a significant national security risk. People familiar with the incident told 404 Media the hackers also planned to release a lookup tool that would have let anyone search the records for a fee, and said that the number of breached records is larger than previously reported. 404 Media granted multiple sources in this story anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press.
The news of lawmakers’ and top officials’ families being targeted also comes as the FCC, the agency which would potentially fine AT&T for the breach, is now being led by Brendan Carr, who has historically been very friendly to the country’s telecommunications giants.
