AT&T revealed Friday that a cyberattack breached the data of “nearly all” of its cellular customers after downloading it from a third-party cloud platform.

The telecom giant has “taken steps” to close off the illegal access point and is working with law enforcement to track down the hackers. At least one person has already been arrested, AT&T said. 



“We have an ongoing investigation into the AT&T breach and we’re coordinating with our law enforcement partners,” the FCC posted on X.

AT&T said it does not believe the data is public “at this time.”

Dallas-based telecommunications company AT&T revealed its second data breach of the year on Friday morning, a leak that affects more than 100 million U.S. customers.

The data compromised contains communication records from May 1 to Oct. 31, 2022, as well as on Jan. 2, 2023. The concerned data was not taken on those dates, but from those dates after the fact.
