    Hackers didn’t do anything, at&t failed in one of their few roles, security. It’s your fault for being so pathetically shit. These companies seriously need major punishments or being jailed for life. I’m beyond sick of them all and they no fucks given bribe everything mentality.

    Company has been laying off people in droves. This stuff will become more common with AT&T.

    Change service providers. Sell any stock you might have.

    Which means AT&T customers can expect spam calls/texts to get much worse in the coming weeks. This breach is basically a gigantic list of known good phone numbers, and there are free tools available to link names/emails to phone numbers.
