"AT&T Data Breach: Protecting Yourself After 73M Customer Records Leaked"

AT&T announced that sensitive information of millions of current and former customers, including Social Security numbers and passcodes, has been discovered online. The company is investigating the breach and has begun notifying affected customers, resetting passcodes, and offering credit monitoring services. This is not the first data breach for AT&T, and consumers are advised to create strong passwords, use multifactor authentication, monitor account activity, and consider setting up credit freezes and fraud alerts with credit bureaus to protect themselves from identity theft.
