AT&T Data Breach Exposes 73 Million Customers to Identity Theft Risk

Hackers stole personal data including SSNs from 73M current and former AT&T customers, potentially exposing them to identity theft.

The breach occurred in 2019 or earlier but was just discovered on the dark web in March 2024.

AT&T has contacted and reset passcodes for the 7.6M current affected customers but not the 65.4M former customers.

Everyone should check if their information was exposed on HaveIBeenPwned.com and monitor credit reports for suspicious activity.

If you find evidence of identity theft, place fraud alerts, freeze credit, file an identity theft report with the FTC, and document everything.
