Amazed that these “hacks” cannot be prevented.
I don’t think that is actually possible

Why would AT&T even store those 2022 records in the first place? Why would they want to save my email to my brother, asking him to return the power saw he borrowed?
I used Consumer Cellular
$20 a month voice txt and data (not unlimited, but I rarely hit the limits)
They should not have a business left after this.
I never text and all the calls I get are scam calls that go to the answering machine , why do I even have a phone ,LOL
In March AT&T leaked 73 million customer’s passwords, bank and credit card info, addresses, and social security numbers.
I found my info on the dark web and notified them after several thousand $$$ of charges on the card I used to pay my AT&T bill.
I had to replace the card 3x as they did not close the leak.
They didn’t even acknowledge my complaint, and it took them two weeks after I notified them to tell the public.
Then, I had Direct TV through the AT&T package on autopay. Their screw up caused my Direct TV to be canceled right when my wife wanted to watch a program. I called them and complained. They told me I would need to enter a new two year contract. I told them to stick it where the sun doesn’t shine.
Later, they called to apoligize for their error and wanted to renew me with a big discount. I explained that I would not use their service if it were free.
Right now I’m waiting on an AT&T repair tech as my 1 GIG internet has been out for 3 days. I called 3 days ago and got their earliest repair tech. Hope he shows up as we are in the end of his arrival window.
😬😬😬
It is RECORDS of calls and texts. Not the actual calls and texts. This is called CPNI (Customer proprietary network information). Still very bad to get it hacked.
AT&T runs the servers and systems for the NSA, CIA, FBI. If you think for one second that this is not done without the approval or even perhaps participation of the government, your pretty dumb.

I just had my debit card hacked two weeks ago. Shortly after being notified by ATT about the data breach. Now I have to wait for the bank to conclude a fraud investigation before they can credit back over $200 to my account. 😣
Sounds like someone going in and altering data under the guise of theft.
Wanna bet that all the downloads went straight to DOT GOV?
