After AT&T found over 70 million users’ Social Security numbers on the ‘dark web,’ here's how to know if you're affected

AT&T said that a dataset found on the “dark web” contains information including some Social Security numbers and passcodes for about 7.6 million current account holders and 65.4 million former account holders.

In a Saturday announcement addressing the data breach, AT&T said that a dataset found on the “dark web” contains information including some Social Security numbers and passcodes for about 7.6 million current account holders and 65.4 million former account holders.

Happens all the time, but as a former customer I need them to cut the check.

these companies rather shell out money for ransomware attacks and such rather then keep, retain and pay their cybersecurity/network/systems teams

 

[The Pledge]

No one cares about their data, fam

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Yeah.. and they also lied about it

From my understanding, the breach happened awhile ago but ATT was stating that the data wasnt from them.

It was fact checked again and it was proven to be false. They later came out and said it was only 50 Million and not 70.. which most people believe that is bullshyt as well

Their data consists of SSN’s, emails, usernames/pws, phone numbers, and home addresses of customers… so people should (and do) care.

Thats a lot of information that will be used for frauds, phishing attempts, scams, etc. guaranteed majority of those people arent Cyber-Savvy enough especially with how easy and sophisticated the operations will become

Sadly until there are laws that severely punish companies for these breaches, nothing will change

The customers don’t care. AT&T definitely cares (about the public perception) but the people don’t.

They haven’t cared since Cambridge Analytica, this shyt was light work compared to that. Facebook should be rubble right now for all the data they sold.

They should

As a former ATT member and in the field, I definitely care. But I also took precautions as best I could regardless if my data leaked and sometimes I took the those precautions out of my own pocket expense.

But I see what you mean. The average consumer isnt doing that and probably will not care.. but yeah, ATT definitely does or else they wouldn't have lied about it. It also makes them look like shyt to those in the field.
