It became completely unusable as spam would come in almost every 10 minutes.
Guess it's time to get LifeLock.
If you ever did business with AT&T, you’re in there.
I almost wish someone in the CIA was both patriotic and shrewd enough to leak the SSN’s of illegals so they can experience ID theft.
Why does AT&T have customer SS numbers?
I’m beginning to believe that the promise of the internet has been almost entirely negated by the realization that about 1/3 of your life has to be devoted to fighting off fraud of some kind. I happen to believe that about 95% of what you read on the internet is fraudulent. I don’t consider it a particularly sanguine state of affairs. I believe it generates terminal pessimism.
I am not sure what Life lifeLock offers. What I do is freeze my credit reports directly with the agencies. These days it relatively easy to lock and unlock your account for credit checks. If I get life hacked, my regular insurance supposedly covers cleaning up that mess....
The US has some weak privacy laws. AT&T should not be holding on to your personal information and SSN forever.
AT&T also issues credit cards. I wonder if those are affected.
What is the point of encrypting when a hacker can decrypt SSNs? I wonder what encryption method they used?
