AT&T says hacker stole some data from 'nearly all' wireless customers

AT&T has reported a data breach where a hacker accessed records of calls and texts from almost all wireless customers. The stolen data includes information on interactions between phone numbers, but not personal details like Social Security numbers or birth dates. The company has implemented additional cybersecurity measures and is cooperating with law enforcement to address the incident. AT&T confirmed that the breach was limited to a workspace on Snowflake's cloud platform and did not affect its network. The Justice Department granted AT&T national security exemptions, allowing them to delay public disclosure of the breach. AT&T reassured that the incident has not significantly impacted its operations or financial status. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is collaborating with AT&T and other agencies to evaluate the breach's impact and provide necessary support and guidance to enhance security measures.
