AT&T Confirms Data Breach Affected 73 Million Customers. 73 million current and former AT&T customers have had their sensitive data compromised in a hack that some outlets say dates back to 2021, Gizmodo reports. The data, which includes social security numbers, email addresses, birthdates, phone numbers and AT&T account information, was located two weeks ago in a data set released on the dark web. It's not clear if it was AT&T's systems that were breached or if the information was stolen from one of the company's vendors. "Currently, AT&T does not have evidence of unauthorized access to its systems resulting in exfiltration of the data set.” "The company is communicating proactively with those impacted and will be offering credit monitoring at our expense where applicable.", AT&T, via statement. As a precaution, AT&T has reset the passcodes of its current customers. The company will be reaching out to customers whose information has been compromised. AT&T advises those who are worried about their accounts to monitor activity and credit reports. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
