Some tens of millions of existing and former AT&T customers had their personal information leaked on the dark web in early March. Involving about 7.6 million current and 65.4 million former customers, the leaked data appears to be from 2019 or earlier and includes sensitive information like Social Security numbers but does not contain financial data or call history. The company is currently investigating the origins of the leak, unsure if it originated from AT&T or one of its vendors. It has reached out to those affected, resetting their passcodes and advising them to monitor their account activity and credit reports.
