The Disastrous AT&T Breach

For those of you who haven't seen yet, AT&T recently informed customers of a breach.
Some quick facts about the AT&T breach:
- Impacted over 70 million customers.
- Revealed the call and text meta information. I'll add to this point because I've seen some misinformation showing that content (ie: messages) were compromised. This is not correct.
- The meta information involved not just AT&T numbers, but also numbers contacting those AT&T numbers.
- The compromise period was during a few months in 2022.
- Unfortunately, there was a delay in releasing that there was a breach.
The impact of this breach further expands hacker's linkability with your information. You can read how hackers use this in a post I wrote for OSINT - https://osintteam.blog/what-is-linkability-bd3f0587e4ba.
