The FCC is charging AT&T $1.46 for every person that got their data stolen


AT&T fined $13 million for a data breach involving customer data stored in the cloud.

The FCC stated that AT&T not only dropped the ball on making sure the vendor safeguarded customer data but also didn’t follow up to ensure it was returned or deleted. Luckily, the breached data didn’t include sensitive information like passwords, Social Security numbers, or credit card details. In July, the carrier revealed that a large chunk of its customers' phone and text records was compromised in a data breach linked to the cloud platform Snowflake.
