AT&T data breach

AT&T has released a statement acknowledging that it has suffered a security breach, which has resulted in the theft of calls and SMS from almost all of its customers' cell phones between May 1st and October 31st, 2022, as well as on January 2nd, 2023. However, the company does not believe that the data has been made public.
