The data of nearly all customers of the U.S. telecommunications giant AT&T was downloaded to a third-party platform in a security breach. Approximately 109 million customer accounts were impacted, including cellular and landline customers. The compromised data, while not containing sensitive personal details, can still be used to trace users and potentially impact their privacy.
While the information that was exposed doesn't directly have sensitive information, it can be used to piece together events and who may be calling who. This could impact people's private lives, as private calls and connections could be exposed. Business phone numbers will be easy to identify and private numbers can be matched to names with public record searches.
