CNN —The call and text message records of tens of millions of AT&T cellphone customers in mid-to-late 2022 were exposed in a massive data breach, the telecom company revealed Friday.
The records of a “very small number” of customers on January 2, 2023 were also implicated, AT&T said.
The breach also included AT&T landline customers who interacted with those cell numbers.
Additionally, AT&T said that for an undisclosed subset of its records, one or more cell site identification numbers linked to the calls and texts were also exposed.
In the new incident, AT&T told CNN it learned in April that customer data was illegally downloaded from its workspace on Snowflake, a third-party cloud platform.
