AT&T hack undermines US national security, experts say

A hack that has compromised millions of AT&T customers’ communication and location records undermines US national security and represents one of the worst breaches of an American telecommunications provider on record, according to privacy and security experts.

On Friday (Saturday AEST), AT&T disclosed that an unknown hacker had compromised its network in April and stolen records of calls and text messages from nearly all of AT&T’s more than 100 million wireless customers through a five-month period in 2022 and 2023.
