"AT&T Data Breach Exposes Millions of Customer Records Online"

AT&T has announced that sensitive information of millions of current and former customers, including Social Security numbers and passcodes, has been leaked online. The company is investigating the breach and has begun notifying affected customers. AT&T has reset passcodes for current users and will provide credit monitoring services where applicable. This is not the first data breach for AT&T, and consumers are advised to create strong passwords, use multifactor authentication, and monitor account activity for suspicious transactions. Additionally, setting up credit freezes and fraud alerts with credit bureaus can help protect against identity theft.
