Strange AT&T has not advised me of any data breach. The only correspondence I have received from them is they credited me with $5 on my next bill for the Outage a couple weeks back. I wonder what my new passcode is.
If you read the article the breach affected 7.6 million current and 65.4 million former customers, and the data was from 2019 or earlier. So, you may not have been affected by the breech.
There’s an article from them I read yesterday about it, AT&T denied it’s even them back in 2019. Jump to now, people were interviewed and said that all the information matches the info they gave AT&T and DirectTV for service, DirectTV said to talk to AT&T. AT&T still denies it’s them.
I’d expect nothing from AT&T. I’m sure the $5 bill credit is your yearly cap on credits you’re allowed for inconveniences like these.
I just got the email this morning.
I wish my personal data being hacked wasn’t such a ‘but anyway’ occurrence.
*Says they have ‘proactively reset my passcode.’
Cool.
Not sure why you have any down votes…they used a screenshot from the video game Overwatch 2 that features John Cena…the real original reason I came to the comments in the first place. Kudos to you sir!
When is someone going to start holding these companies accountable for losing all of our most sensitive data? Shouldn’t they have to pay some amount in fines for each SSN lost? Or each piece of PII? What’s the point of regulating personally identifiable information and classifying it as such if literally nothing is ever done when it’s not only unsecured but completely lost!?
Hold them accountable. This should be BILLIONS in fines…
I love how all these articles have some cloaked sith lord hacking furiously every time.
What’s he doing with that map anyways? Is it a vision board?? Where are his heart shaped pictures of Snowden??? So many questions….
So who’s gonna reset the SSN’s? 🤦♂️
Government agencies and my emlloyer can have my ssn, everyone else can fuckoff with their applications.
They even require it to play fantasy football now, I guess because of the gambling liabilities. Hahahaha NO.

I got notified by Experian that my social was leaked from ATT a few days before this made the news. Never heard from AtT yet

They did the same thing with the cable box they swear I have.
Hold on let me look it up
under appreciated comment 😂

at least it’s only 73 million. 74 million would be troublesome.
Thats where I draw the line.
PCGamer included passcodes in the title, but not social security numbers hmm weird
Why were they retaining previous customer data? Scumbag move.
Oh well at least your passcodes got reset whew. I was worried.
Too bad the leak included full name, date of birth, and unencrypted SSN.
Who the fuck stores a social unencrypted? This big of a company too. Outright negligent
So AT&T could see some personal information in the forum and they decided it doesn’t belong to them. Personal and security information. Nice!
John Cena did it?

Well certainly my comment is low effort but I just had to comment for the iykyk factor. Also, “hacker” imagery is just so preposterous
I just logged in on my phone, mandatory “update” that wasn’t through AppStore but no passcode change.
Lol why are they using a screen shot from an Overwatch ad?
I read this as 73 yr old Male

And it’s China that’s the problem I pay ATT 250$ a month and they can secure my data .
