AT&T Wireless: In April 2024, hackers affiliated with ShinyHunters hacked AT&T Wireless and stole data on over 110 million customers. In May, AT&T paid a $370,000 ransom to one of the group's members to delete the data

You mean the security super heroes from Wells Fargo and AIG. What could go wrong when the core of your experienced cybersecurity professionals are forced to exit the business. More trouble ahead.
Batch is a place holder. CSO might be his title, but gutting tte CSO of experience and talent was his goal. His porcupine personality aligns perfectly with the Stink.
handling employees, customer, business customers and our network data
Not just data. Baich is actively hiring for the security of our network.
@c8
T has been a globalist corporation, (starting with India and H1B) for 20+ years replacing employees here with contractors first and now employees all around the 3rd world countries. T is now a champion in basic greed in global corporate America.
In the meantime Trump preaches that our future does not belong to globalist companies, 🙄 and he gives these globalist corporations a huge tax break that will go directly to hire more employees in our intl hubs. 😳
@dv even more “comical” is that India, our #1 intl hub with thousands of IT and CS employees, handling employees, customer, business customers and our network data (yeah our wireless/wireline network), is a political/economical allied with CHINA, Russia, Afghanistan and its proxies..
Take a moment to sink this in …
In the meantime the investors, board and Stankey and minions and lining their pockets because that’s our CEO only objective.
Everyone is shocked that paying 3rd world employees pennies to handle your most valuable proprietary data turned out badly. The really comical part is we paid the ransom and still lost all the data.
I head they leveraged / bribed two workers inside “the center of excellence” in India to get inside the network and now basically have total free rein of it and its data. Has anyone heard anything similar. I’m gathering content for a nationally syndicated paper and am looking for additional sources.
Overseas support teams now have access to our nation’s telecommunications network. Not hard to imagine that data would be stolen regularly with non Americans having access to the keys to the kingdom. The issue is profits vs security and the globalist don’t care about sovereignty or borders, only their money as long as they aren’t affected.
This is known and expected. Since the times we had unencrypted customer data (yeah ) and the IT support teams were sent to India (great friends with China), the Philippines and other countries, they have our data already.
Good thing we have all those ex-AIG and Wells Fargo leaders. Am sure they are on the ball as much as they were at their old places. Not to mention Stinky and Leggy looking over them.

Was the cybersecurity team even aware before the breach was announced in the media?
this did not happen
