AT&T Data Fiasco: ShinyHunters Strike Again with Decrypted SSNs!
Hackers have leaked what they claim is AT&T’s database stolen by ShinyHunters in 2024, but is it the Snowflake breach? Not so fast. While the dataset boasts 88 million records, the encrypted Social Security Numbers are now plain text. Unclear if it’s the same breach, but AT&T’s customer data woes continue.
Hot Take:
Well, well, well, looks like AT&T’s data management is about as secure as a screen door on a submarine. They’ve done it again, folks! Seems like the ShinyHunters took a bite out of the data apple, and AT&T customers might just be the worm in that rotten core. If you’re an AT&T customer, your SSN might be getting more airtime than a viral TikTok video. Time to consider a career in espionage, because your identity is already halfway there!
Key Points:
- ShinyHunters leaked AT&T’s database claiming it was taken using Snowflake cloud exploits.
- The leaked data is now circulating on multiple cybercrime forums.
- Data includes personal info like Social Security numbers, names, and addresses, all in plain text.
- AT&T has a history of similar breaches, previously paying ransom to have stolen data deleted.
- The latest leak is more organized and potentially more dangerous than previous ones.
