Hot Take:

Well, it looks like AT&T's game of "Data Breach Denial" finally got a “Game Over” screen. After three years of "not it!" the telecom giant has flipped the switch, hit the panic button, and reset passwords faster than you can say, “Oops, we did it again.” And, if your passcode was "1234," it might be a good time to consider that "5678" isn't the upgrade you think it is.
