    That ATT outage…I don’t think that was an accident, I think it was this. AT&T needs to provide protection for all customers. This is ridiculous!

      It's not an it's not an accident they probably get buffer money on the side from the Republican party and the 1% Tinseltown and get a mass lawsuit against the Republican party and every Republican involved in each issue Susan has a party and individually until their nose bleeds they can take that to the bank

    I like how they make it feel like it's the fault of the consumer and not AT&T

    The problem is you can't really close an account with many companies so they hold onto information for as long as they want . I wanted to close my turbo tax account completely and it can't be done . Laws need to be changed so that you can completely close a account you do business with and completely remove your I formation .
    Also the availability to change your social number if compromised or figure another way to check identity that can be changed

    Explain to me why AT&T has people's ss number....

      From people who have contracts.

      I simply won't sign a contract with companies that require my SS. Only banks, government or insurance companies will ever receive that information.

    AT&T should be sued by the government. They did not come out IMMEDIATELY and let everyone to know. That customers and employees, ex-employees data was exposed!

    I never had an account with AT&T, yet I was notified by my bank that my SSN was leaked into the dark web by an AT&T breach. WTH?

      @jimmyneutron3055 2 місяці тому +1

      Same here. Did you ever created home internet 4G or cellular plan with at&t? I was so shocked coz my credit card company provide free dark web scanning and I got scared so I came here to find those with similar experiences

    Oh how ironic.. right after a massive outage? Who DID IT?

    • @Runner8617
      @Runner8617 29 днів тому

      Most likely AT&T themselves.

    When you make many millions in prophet quarterly and you can't protect your customers something is very wrong. Greed and power vs taking care of the customer.
