A hacker accessed and downloaded call and text-message data from nearly all AT&T Wireless customers, the company disclosed in a securities filing Friday.
The breach covers calls and texts made from May 1 to Oct. 31, 2022, as well as this past January. The stolen data include numbers customers called or texted and their duration, but doesn’t contain the content of those communications, AT&T said. The company said it doesn’t think the records are available online.
“AT&T has taken additional cybersecurity measures in response to this incident including closing off the point of unlawful access,” the company said.
AT&T has nearly 90 million wireless subscribers, and the hack also affects information from reseller brands that use the AT&T network.
