This was a Snowflake hack that also impacted several other companies like LendingTree and several others. I get you dont like the company but you make your self look bad when you post things like this saying layoffs caused this when that is not true and does not even make sense. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/07/12/snowflake-shares-slip-after-att-says-hackers-accessed-data.html is just one article on this... Do some research...
Just another day at SBC.
Doesn't affect me.
Credit has been frozen with the big 3 credit bureaus a long time ago.
I use end to end encrypted instant messaging with my friends and SMS for simple non-sensitive chats with r3t@rds who won't use a cross platform chat system. I use their VoIP capabilities for talking about important things.
Hackers have nothing that hasn't already been released from the Experian hack.
and think we started a cyber security company. Who would buy that stuff from us after all these leaks. Sorry Level blue, your days are already numbered. Nothing like this big black cloud hanging over your head.
Sad times. We were once the most respected Telecommunication company.
"According to CNN, some government agencies asked AT&T not to reveal the hack back in 2022 because of some sensitive national security issues."
A number of those government contracts will not be renewed.
I think its really Major.
Imagine you have vladimir putin cell phone number somehow. Now you find out that he has been daily texting with governer xxxxx who uses AT&T cell phone service. Maybe they were exchanging secrets. Maybe they were exchanging daily prayers. Either way its a huge mess even if you dont have the actual text content, if they are even telling the truth on that part..
When will customers finally admit they have had enough of AT&T's inept business practices and move on to Verizon or Tmobile?

Stankey doesn’t care. BOD doesn’t care. What matters is how to get rid of employees and save money.
Sometimes I wonder if the claim, every time, that the hack happened 2-3 years ago is the way to distract from the current leadership's incompetence, but most of these clowns were here back then too, so it should really reflect on the competence, or lack thereof, of the BOD. Logically, you'd think at some point they will be obligated to seek change in senior leadership, as by now, they might be neglecting their fiduciary responsibilities, but if you look at who they are, they are all in the same circle of buddies, serving on each other's companies boards, ensuring the little club is taking care of their own. So yeah, they'd rather lay off 10,000 of you, than replace 1 Stankey (and they know he will do the same for them).
How many shoes are we waiting to fall?
will target goals for this year be affected leading to lower bonuses next year?
My first thought is to ask if this included the Firstnet customers. Seems like someone would want that sensitive government data, coming up on the elections this fall.
Yeah - maybe like Hunter texting the Big Guy!
"Coincidentally, in April, the FCC fined the big mobile carriers $200 million collectively for knowingly sharing customer data"

The end is near.
Everyone thinks moving to the cloud is the next best thing. In reality it is just a money saving operation. The cloud is full of security holes that you have to constantly configure and apply patches for it to be safe. At the end the cloud provider will say it is the client's fault if there are security breaches.
Yet companies like AT&T, do not want to hire and keep IT professional to maintain their own infrastructure. It is cheaper to move that infrastructure to someone else. Jeremy Legg is a clown but he is not the only clown for moving off prem to cloud. Just wait until our network data is on Microsoft cloud. And really why would any company trust a cloud provider named snowflake!!!

According to the articles I’ve read it does have national security implications.
