AT&T has announced that the company believes a hacker stole records of calls and texts from nearly all of AT&T's wireless customers, according to a financial filing from the company.
"The data does not contain the content of calls or texts, personal information such as Social Security numbers, dates of birth, or other personally identifiable information," AT&T said in their statement released early Friday morning.

AT&T’s said it learned of the breach on April 19, but delayed disclosing it at the request of federal investigators. The company’s SEC disclosure says at least one individual has been detained by the authorities in connection with the breach.”
