Looks like another company that had user data on Snowflake.
Also of note:
The stolen data also includes call records of customers with phone service from other cell carriers that rely on AT&T’s network, the company said.
So folks on smaller networks or on something that uses multiple networks like Google Fi also probably got breached.
The snowflake breach keeps on giving.
In a world where calls and text messages are free, why were these records being kept? That data is just a liability.
I doubt this will impact At&t too much. I've listened it's a giant in US
Ticketmaster had a breach earlier this week. I don't know if it was just ticketmaster Canada but I received an email about the breach.
I sold some seats on TM on Tuesday. I checked my account to check when payment was in progress: June 5, 2079
Right around the corner.
I live in the EU, and from this year my mobile receives a dozen spam calls every day. Most get blocked by google, but I still get annoying notifications. It has never been so bad (( I think AI makes it super easy to setup cold calling, with worse still to come. I wish I could disable mobile number and use it only for internet.
Data only esim ftw! People want to reach you - give them an email address, if they insist on a number make it something like a gvoice number - notifications via email only for text and voice.
One of the benefits of running your own mail server, is I can (on the fly) assign custom email addresses for my account. So I have a username.att@domain.com for my ATT accound. In the past 2 months I now regularly get phishing emails sent to my ATT email....
You can also do this with most(?) email providers by appending a
+namelikefreetx+att@gmail.com. Some apps probably don’t allow this, but many dowow, thanks. just tested with my gmail and it worked. but what to do with such single-use emails? report to the police everyone who sold/leaked my email address? I doubt they care.
It’s more for awareness so you know who leaked your info
if the spammers are smart, they'll use the part before + ))
Spammers are dummies 99% of the time lol
Good call
I add periods … to Gmail address
Oh yea you can do that too
Clever
Smart
Plot twist: AT&T were the criminals.
Great! This should be noted as the biggest robbery in history!!
Wow 165 customers exposed. Did snowflake make a statement on the issue or the vulnerability?
They've been blaming customers for not using MFA.
Nice
