AT&T notifies regulators after customer data breach

AT&T has officially confirmed that millions of customer records leaked online last month were indeed authentic, and it has started notifying affected individuals. The data breach compromised personal information such as names, email addresses, mailing addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, and social security numbers of more than 51 million people, including around 90,000 customers in Maine. AT&T took three years to acknowledge the breach, which occurred in mid-2019. The leaked data also included encrypted account passcodes, some of which were easily deciphered by a security researcher. AT&T is offering identity theft and credit monitoring to affected customers and is yet to determine the source of the leak.
