If you spoke to or texted with any AT&T user on your phone, your personal data may have been stolen.
In what has been described as a “sweeping . . . breach of customer records” by Bloomberg news, AT&T has disclosed that hackers illegally stole six months’ of mobile customer data between May 1, 2022 and October 31, 2022 as well as data from January 2, 2023. What’s worse, is that not only was AT&T customer data stolen, but the data of nearly anyone who happened to speak to or text with an AT&T customer, was also potentially compromised. This data could be used by malicious actors in phishing and similar fraudulent schemes thereby increasing your risk of FRAUD and IDENTITY THEFT!
Are you concerned that your data may have been compromised? You should be. Keller Rohrback is seeking class representatives for a potential class action lawsuit on behalf of non-AT&T consumers whose data was exposed by this data breach. We can help you determine if your information was compromised.

More about the breach
According to AT&T, a massive data breach was discovered in April of 2024 which included “nearly all” of its customers’ cellular call and text records for a six-month period occurring between May 1, 2022 and October 31, 2022 and well as from January 2, 2023. This hack, which involved more than 100 million AT&T customers impacts anyone who called or texted with the affected AT&T customers including both cellular users and landlines. While the stolen data does not include details personally identifiable information (PII) such as Social Security numbers or birthdates or call or text content information, it does include the call and text logs including phone numbers of anyone that an AT&T customer interacted with during that time.
Even though this illegal breach did not contain PII, some security experts believe that this information could be exploited by crafty scam artists and hackers to piece together the personal data of individuals including names, phone numbers, addresses and other personal details-placing you at risk for identity theft or fraud.
AT&T reportedly responded to this data leak by paying the alleged hacker who stole the data $370,000 in Bitcoin to delete the stolen data but it is unknown if any of the information remains in the wild at this time.
We believe that consumers should have a reasonable expectation that their personal information is safe when in the hands of corporate custodians, and that every possible step should be taken to secure that information. This is the second major data breach to occur to AT&T in 2024. Corporations need to be held accountable, and Keller Rohrback seeks to do just that. Contact us now learn how you can help.
