AT&T is facing heavy criticism after a substantial data breach in which hackers accessed the call records of “NEARLY ALL” of its mobile subscribers, totaling approximately 109 million people.
This not only affects AT&T customers, but everyone those customers have interacted with.
In a statement to Reclaim The Net, the telecom giant confirmed that the breach occurred between April 14 and April 25, 2024, involving its Snowflake storage. Snowflake, a provider that facilitates large-scale data storage and analysis in the cloud, is now under scrutiny for security failures following multiple breaches facilitated by stolen credentials.
Security firm Mandiant recently identified a group of financially motivated hackers known as “UNC5537” targeting Snowflake users. This has led to a number of data thefts, prompting Snowflake to implement stricter security measures, including mandatory multi-factor authentication for its administrators.
