AT&T has experienced a massive personal data breach, so if you’re one of the more than 100 million people who use the company, you’ll want to be on guard.
According to a new report from Hack Read, more than 86 million customers have been affected with leaked details ranging from full names to dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses and physical addresses.

It’s reported that more than 44 million Social Security Numbers were also included in the data leak.
While each of these data sets poses privacy risks on their own, together they could create full identity profiles that could be exploited for fraud or identity theft.
The stolen data is reportedly fully decrypted and was first posted to a Russian cybercrime forum on May 15 before being re-uploaded on the same forum on June 3.

Every time I turn around, I get another notice of a potential data breach. At this point, I just feel like all our information is out there anyways. I am curious, however, about why AT&T would need to have both socials and DOB?

Maybe we need something more secure than social security numbers.

This is concerning to me. All these companies & apps demand us to provide sensitive info, promising to safekeep them , then ended up getting hacked bc turns out they use some robust but outdated system of record keeping

Yes, it was definitely some corporation that was breached. Definitely.

Honestly SSN are still easy to find without a data breach. I think it was only 10 years ago or so the VA stopped putting them on every single piece of mail, document, pill bottle you got.

Yes indeed, we too use "cookies." Take a look at our privacy/terms or if you just want to see the damn site without all this bureaucratic nonsense, click ACCEPT. Otherwise, you'll just have to find some other site for your pointless bitchery needs.
