I disagree. These class action lawsuits only benefit the lawyers. I wouldn't be surprised if some law firm helped the dark web get the information just so they could sue to make money off of it.
Only the lawyers benefit in these class action lawsuits, but it's interesting how people don't sue the government when they get hacked and have leaks of personal info
The SS numbers were sold, the media is being used to give notice. Now, the next step is for Americans to refuse to sign p for any service that demands a SS number. There isn't a single provider that actually needs that particular number to provide you their service. It's fluff ttey can get out of you and sell for profit.
I know what you mean. Seems all companies are affected and especially health care, insurance and hospitals are hugely affected. Freeze all your credit reports. Stay safe!
Millions will never stop all this since Billions are being currently spent to add features and technologies that organizations can use to expand business and increase cashflow which they require to stay in business period. I believe that I might be tempted to bet that very few people will ever say that they refuse to buy into a new service or new idea UNTIL THEY KNOW THAT DOING SO WOULD NEVER put themselves in a situation where they could be harmed by using the new "widget" ...... like maybe UA-cam or some other glamorous (and useful and fun) thing. How much trust do we now place in services like "airline checkin from a cell phone" or how easily we accept Alexa when we have no idea what Alexa is capable of that we know little about that we let control our heat/ac thermostat when we are not even home. Do we not read the manual first to learn about security features before we buy or do we just accept trust plugin and enjoy and believe that others will look after security. We generally do the latter. Of course my kids tell me that we can't go thru life living in fear of what we don't know that might happen when we no longer can apply for many jobs except online. Tonight there was a knock on the door and a guy handed me some food that had been ordered online and delivered to our house and I was the only one who had to get off the couch. (wasn't for me). I wish that AT&T didn't give or sell my AT&T identity to 3rd parties but that is part of their business model as well as many others as well as they told me i had to give them my SS number if I wanted a phone service from them. I argued and lost. I hope as likely most of us that the current experts are there at each business and are able to keep up with the criminal element. to look after security
I just got a note that my banking information has been breached and is on the dark web … I have AT&T and have only had it for a year. I also have a stalker of an ex. The combination of the two will probably ruin my financial life, which sucks since I was in finance for 20 years before my ex of 22 years ruined my career. And now this with AT&T? Gosh I’m so over this. I’ll never feel safe. And unless someone has been in my shoes it’s hard to describe the constant fear I live in daily. This only solidifies that there’s likely no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh
The news report says the actual data comes from August 2021. It's only now that the data is finally being sold. Check out 1:44. If you're a new customer in the last 2 years, you're safe.
@@alexlowe2054 considering the lies business’ have done to downplay things, I bet you it didn’t end in 2021. I also got a note from AT&T that my data may have been compromised so that there tells you their date of 2021 is false since I got my service in 2023
@@alexlowe2054 I’m a new customer of 2023 yet I got the data breach notification from AT&T like 3 weeks ago. So it definitely isn’t just until 2021 and they’re trying to downplay it.
Laughable corporate, they rack up billions in year yet they still cant figure out what happens for over 76 millions of their previous customer's PII. Then wait 3 years to announce a PII data breach.. 😮
i been dealing with AT&T for years i been having problems with DATA and had my name as amanda frame i kelp calling AT&T to fix the problem i think it was a inside job.
That's REALLY bad when AT&T gets owned by insecure SQL data.. This hacking is VERY common, and VERY easy to protect against. No reason anyone with any sense would have overlooked this. Maybe they did too many DEI hires.... Like Boeing's doors flying off. LOL
Don't agree. You have to give information to get an account, what makes it personal is that it's not public records. You can't just go to AT & T and demand information on someone. AT & T doesn't post it publicly. I guess by your logic your money in your bank isn't yours since you gave it to them right?
Time to sue at&t and I'm not paying my bill and I'm going with Comcast or he'll ill go with t-mobile or someone alone those lines I knew something was fishy.
First guy doesn't understand that it's not about secrets, it's about someone being able to pretend to be you.
How many times are peoples information going to leaked?? this ridiculous!!!
Lawsuit time
I disagree. These class action lawsuits only benefit the lawyers. I wouldn't be surprised if some law firm helped the dark web get the information just so they could sue to make money off of it.
Only the lawyers benefit
That would explain the sudden influx of spam calls
Time to get sued AT&T. If you are a customer leave now.
Leave where?
All telecommunications companies has been affected.
No where to go and no where to hide.
You should understand that by now.
Seems like this is why the entire AT & T network recently went down in 2024.
Interestimg thought
But the "solarflare" was so credible 😂 (ps TMobile claimed the same thing)
Sounds like a inside job they should scan their employees
It took a malware source Twitter account to give them the heads up. 😂😂😂
That's just as embarrassing as the leak itself.
Setting up the SQL server to not give out unauthorized data is step one for any admin.
at&t has a lawsuit on their hands.. and I pay 100+ a month for this? NO Thx.. time to get rid of at&t. AT&T Lied!!

I'm just watching this and I still haven't got a notification about this...really At&t.
That is because it was NOT your data involved. A good sign

SSN should only be used for tax purposes.
wtf sick of this
I know what you mean.
Seems all companies are affected and especially health care, insurance and hospitals are hugely affected.

Stay safe!
SHOULD BE A LAW THAT SSN SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR TAX PURPOSES AND NOTHING ELSE.
it shouldn't even be used for that. SSN was never meant to be an identification number
Someone should attack the dark web and remove all data !!
LOL
It's probably mostly stored in China and North Korea.
One would think it could be done. Also why can't they track the source of the breach? Or send a virus back with it?
Well.what happened to the millions put into cyber security to stop all this.

Right. Once the bank has your money, there are scenarios where you might not get it back. Think of Greece.
