AT&T has confirmed a fresh data breach where cybercriminals stole phone records of nearly all its customers. The stolen data includes phone numbers, call and text records, metadata, and some recent records as well. This breach was linked to the cloud data giant Snowflake, with Mandiant attributing it to cybercriminals UNC5537. These hackers are financially motivated and have global reach. While some data from other corporate victims has been published on cybercrime forums, AT&T maintains that its stolen data is not yet public. The company is working with law enforcement, with at least one arrest made, and the FBI citing risks to national security and public safety as reasons for delayed notifications.
