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

reply

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

if the spammers are smart, they'll use the part before + ))

Spammers are dummies 99% of the time lol

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?
