AT&T says hackers stole records of nearly all cellular customers calls and texts


The data contains records of calls and texts between approximately May 1 and Oct. 31, 2022, and on Jan. 2, 2023.

Hackers stole six months' worth of call and text message records of nearly every AT&T cellular network customer, the company said Friday, a breach that has the potential to reveal sensitive information about millions of Americans. The company said in an SEC filing that it learned from an internal investigation that in April, hackers "unlawfully accessed and copied AT&T call logs" that were saved on a third-party cloud platform. "AT&T data previously compromised and released will help threat actors map a large percentage of the phone numbers in these customer records to the actual victims impacted," Williams said in an email to NBC News.
