At this point, it’s difficult to say with certainty whether the newly leaked database is a decrypted version of the 2024 Snowflake breach, a separate dump, or some combination of both. What’s clear, though, is that a massive amount of highly sensitive AT&T customer data is circulating once again, this time in a more organized and potentially more dangerous form.
With decrypted Social Security Numbers, full personal details, and a growing pattern of repeated exposure, the stakes for affected users are higher than ever. While AT&T has acknowledged past breaches, the company has yet to confirm whether this latest dataset is part of the same incident or something new altogether.

At this point when someone asks me if I heard about the latest breach I have no idea. It's a daily occurrence.

Aren't we all excited for when the Chat data breaches start happening?
In April 2024, as reported by Hackread.com, AT&T experienced a major data breach when hackers accessed its Snowflake cloud environment, compromising the call and text metadata of nearly 110 million customers.
The breach lasted from May 2022 to October 2022 and included some records from January 2023, exposed phone numbers, interaction counts, and call durations, though not the content of communications or personally identifiable information.
The cyberattack was part of a large-scale campaign targeting over 160 Snowflake customers. Hackers exploited stolen credentials lacking multi-factor authentication to infiltrate these environments.
AT&T’s compromised data was stolen by a hacker associated with the ShinyHunters group. Reports indicate that AT&T paid a ransom of approximately $370,000 in Bitcoin to have the stolen data deleted, a transaction facilitated through an intermediary known as Reddington.
So AT&T paid the ransom and it didn't save them or their customers from further harm? Holy fucking gullibility, batman!

And yet the kyc advocates proceed merrily on, requiring more personal data for more things.

At this point, it’s not even surprising anymore. Centralized data is a ticking time bomb — and users are always the ones paying the price.
