This breach is quite old (2019), the news here is AT&T finally put out a press release today a week after the big story about the data finally showing up in public. Note AT&T still has no idea how their customers' data got out. At least they're admitting now the data is really theirs. Still not taking any responsibility for how it escaped or why it's been five years and they still don't know what went wrong.
- graemep 3y agoMaybe they are better off not knowing - if they found out there would be a fair chance it was their fault. Any consequences for them for the breach, or is it the customers' problem?
- NelsonMinar 3y agoTheir press release ends with “As of today, this incident has not had a material impact on AT&T’s operations”. I assume that's some dumb legal requirement related to being a publicly traded company. But it sure looks like a statement of the legal problem right now with privacy breaches in the US.
