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.

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 +name like freetx+att@gmail.com. Some apps probably don’t allow this, but many do

wow, 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.

reply

It’s more for awareness so you know who leaked your info

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 doubt this will impact At&t too much. I've listened it's a giant in US

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.

Plot twist: AT&T were the criminals.

reply

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?

In a world where calls and text messages are free, why were these records being kept? That data is just a liability.
