They won't confirm its from their systems because many are so bad, they can't even tell when they have been breached. And all this Legg stuff about putting things in the cloud as made some of their data even easier to get at.
Remind me why we're selling the cybersecurity division again?
And no offense but you don't have to use your uid as your email. Everyone has an alias of their first.last@att.com that they can use.
I thought we 100 million customers. Did they go TMo?
From the article "...total mobile customer base at the end of 2021 was 201.8 million subscribers, meaning that if this data dump is legitimate, it is only a partial dump."

It’s not rocket science AT&T claims to be a trusted brand. All fluff, no accountability
That is a “True” & accurate statement BECAUSE AT&T outsources everything which makes it an accurate claim. The unfortunate part is investors are buying into AT&T but AT&T is not omits business plans. They call them “Trade Secrets “. It’s all in the sneaky cryptic way AT&T does business. They play word games to suggest their plans. Read & listen to every word, it’s written very carefully.
Telling the world your uid by having it be your email address doesn’t help.
If it can be built, it can be hacked. Reality of 1’s and 0’s, it is happening everywhere all the time. Most hackers could care 2 cents about most people, they go after the big fish. Several totalitarian regimes have whole teams that hack all day, every day, it’s there full-time jobs.
We receive and phishing text about every two weeks on our COU phone. It gets ignored. 7 hours later we get and an email saying don't open the link in the text.
Good to see that AT&T is on top of things.
We have the weakest login and password structure. Same password to open laptop as the single sign on. Allows simple passwords. No authentication needed.
My kid goes to college and does more security checks in a day than we do in a year. Be better Jeremy. We got 70 million customers depending on us.
The fact that it took ~3 years to come out is crazy. Did the company even know?
