AT&T customers will be notified by the company if their data was compromised in the major security breach.

AT&T Customers Impacted By Data Breach Should Do This Now

This past April, AT&T discovered that there was a data breach in one of their workspaces through a third-party cloud platform. Proper and necessary steps were then taken immediately afterward.

AT&T Releases Details of Breached Data

AT&T Corp. disclosed today that a new data breach has exposed phone call and text message records for roughly 110 million people — nearly all of its customers. AT&T said it delayed disclosing the incident in response to “national security and public safety concerns,” noting that some of the records included data that could be used to determine where a call was made or text message sent. AT&T also acknowledged the customer records were exposed in a cloud database that was protected only by a username and password (no multi-factor authentication needed).
