Isn’t it odd that all these companies’ data breaches always seem to involve customers data but never the companies’ finance info or the owner/CEO/people in charge’s data or finance info. I wonder why.
AT&T admitted in the 2000s that they save all text message info for 7yrs. That's a lot of data and you know every bit of it will be fed into the databases of an A.I. chat models
They have to save it by law in cases of warrants and or criminal activity. I think it's 3 years though, not 7. I seriously doubt they save it for that long. It doesnt take that long to pull metadata and it costs tons of money to host those servers when there is constant new info to be saved.
@@superkoopatrooper4879 At&t took it upon themselves to save everything for 7yrs. I don't believe they ever delete anything. I remember when they admitted it years ago
any company bigger than mom and pop store, and some mom and pop operations, make most of their money stealing and selling customer data. never buy anything from any company that has a "business" person involved if you value your data, rights, privacy.
This is what happens when no regulations are put in place to force these companies to not cut corners and save costs when it comes to cybersecurity. If a hefty and I mean painfully hefty punishment is due this wouldn’t have happened.
How AT&T is still in business defies human understanding.. when they were the only game in town, they were price gouging everyone who used a phone.. to call someone in a neighboring meant incurring "long distance fees" (per minute) and calling overseas could bankrupt an American family. I wish everyone would cancel AT&T, stiff em on the final payment and watch as the company goes under!
This is incredibly serious. Multiple outages, multiple hacks, that means the data from multiple hacks can be combined together and if they have timetables, this could be a totally new thing unlike other single hacks. This seems to be an amalgamation of multiple hacks and multiple data points that can be finally linked together
They've had one data breach in the last five years and T-Mobile had 11 in 9 years lmfao your brainless Bye, for what assisting the government ??? For an investigation to hunt down the hackers and save the context of information being leaked. None of there sensitive information was leaked so I would be happy for all of the AT&T customers.
Of course they're going to tell customers that none of their personal info was disclosed. Give it a couple months for them to come up with a good PR speech and then they'll come out with the "oooh, shit, sorry...." excuses.
If you look in the company that is in charge of that portion of information that was leaked that actually had nothing to do with AT&T because people are so retarded and want to associate ATT with like they're a cyber security company lmfao they use many different entities and companies I know exactly how their systems work because it's just like any other business None of the information was late because that's a baseline of security. The more sensitive information is used by different cyber security companies and it's very complex.
If the penalties for this type of corporate failure were not negotiable and strong enough companies like ATT would take better care of stuff. We need to ask why doesn't' the government make it in the company's interest to take better care of this kind of thing.

They're the best company.

@@johnringo1145 There’s one thing of misunderstanding, but when they continue to allow sales agents to be rogue in offering promotions that don’t apply and AT&T does nothing, that is corporate greed and corruption. You can say they don’t have contracts, but if you can’t pay off your phone before 3 years without consequences of losing your promotion credits, that’s saying you can’t go anywhere without paying a fee, which is eventually a form of a contract. If you don't want to call it a contract, call it scamming people. In the last month, AT&T services went down twice for over 12 hours with no communication to its customers or compensation for the inconvenience. Now, there is this major data breach. I don't have anything to hide, but many people don't want their phone history out there for the public to see. They used to be a reputable company. Now they are living by their name. Honestly, their phone services are not good and AT&T is nothing but a headache. I'm getting out as soon as I can.
