Thread regarding DXC Technology layoffs

AT&T hacked

When you stop paying employees you lose goodwill, people won't answer thier phones or go the extra mile anymore. You need to make the announcement about pay raises Raul. You are in a service industry and you need folks goodwill to help out when the sheets hit the fan.

"Personal data belonging to 73 million current or former AT&T customers has been leaked online.

Information including addresses, social security numbers and passcodes was published on the dark web, the US telecoms giant said.

AT&T said it had not identified evidence indicating the data had been stolen but had brought in cybersecurity experts to investigate.

Customers have had their passcodes automatically reset."

@1fid+1rO1q5iu To be fair to him DXC only manages a portion of AT&T's IT infrastructure not the whole thing. So even if it is the fault of an IT vendor it may not necessarily be DXC's fault. That said if the rumors of Huges being fired are true perhapse this is why? Anyone have concrete info?

"DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC), a leading Fortune 500 global technology services provider, today announced a new multi-year agreement to provide AT&T* (NYSE: T) end-to-end support for a portion of its IT infrastructure operations"

 @ntf+1rO1q5iu your clearly a DXC manager, you don't have a clue, or as usual your lying.

The dataset was 2019 but the breach is current. Let's hope there's not a big SLA penalty. When you cut corners you end up paying more in one hit.

"While the company continues to say there is no indication their systems were breached, it has now confirmed that the leaked data belongs to 73 million current and former customers.

"Based on our preliminary analysis, the data set appears to be from 2019 or earlier, impacting approximately 7.6 million current AT&T account holders and approximately 65.4 million former account holders," AT&T said in a statement shared with BleepingComputer."

@ntf+1rO1q5iu True but that data could still be sitting in a DXC managed server, right? That said AT&T hasn't thrown shade at any of the intergrators so I'd guess that it's their own internal failure.

If you would read the story and not just look the headline , you would know the data is from 2019. Which is BEFORE DXC had the AT&T compute contract
