A temporary network disruption that affected AT&T customers in the U.S. Thursday was caused by a software update, the company said.
AT&T told ABC News in a statement ABC News that the outage was not a cyberattack but caused by "the application and execution of an incorrect process used as we were expanding our network."
"We are continuing our assessment of today’s outage to ensure we keep delivering the service that our customers deserve," the statement continued.
The software update went wrong, according to preliminary information from two sources familiar with the situation.
Sources have told ABC News that there was nothing nefarious or malicious about the incident.

So Verizon, ATT, and T Mobil ALL had a software update at the same time REALLY??? I call BS!!
Damn’ right. Ain’t Texting & Talking eff’d up. Badly.
It must have been geographically determined. In my area Verizon and T mobile were fine. The problems came from AT & T users attempting to communicate with other carriers and vice-versa.
Software update with a DEI connection?
ID10T error.
Sounds like the government. Whenever our IT systems in the Air Force were updated, there were ALWAYS problems that they had to go back and fix.
Who believes this lie? No seriously, who. I need your names and bank draft numbers so I can sell you the Brooklyn Bridge. Cheap REALLY cheap!
No, but what else is AT&T going to say? The truth? Right, any evidence they might have has already disappeared.
But it sounded so much more alarming when it was a solar flair or espionage
And, some of them resell AT&T minutes.
And, AT&T owns discount sellers like Cricket.
I guess you would have to have network analyzer to figure out which network you were really talking through...
Correct.
It was a “special ATT solar flare….”
D’oh!
Oh yeah, sure! Coincidentally happened on the same day as a huge military exercise!
