AT&T says hackers stole 2022 call and text data from 'nearly all' cell customers

AT&T says hackers stole 2022 data of “nearly all” of its cellular customers from the company's workspace on a third-party cloud platform.

The Dallas-based telecommunications company announced the massive data breach in a regulatory filing and press release on Friday morning, which said it believes the data is no longer publicly available.

“AT&T has taken additional cybersecurity measures in response to this incident including closing off the point of unlawful access,” it added.
