None of the paperwork says what company he worked for, which is strange.
I didn't notice that. All documentation just refers to the company as "Company-1".
I'm guessing the company made a deal they would cooperate if their name isn't included in.
Not sure how accurate but I found someone with the same name and age in Marlton, NJ on Spokeo.
His two cell phone numbers say "AT&T Mobility". His landline says Verizon. I'm going to guess he worked for AT&T. Could be wrong though.
If it's seems a little shady, probably AT&T.
Isn't this also going into cyberattack / responsible disclosure territory? They might be opening themselves up to a class action with this.
Right, I think the clients of the telecom company should know if someone was sim swapping their accounts. Then again, they might have already been told.
According to the article there were five victims. That is not a class actionable deal, methinks.
If it's only 5 that's true. That said those 5 can file.
Also I'm curious if there is another claim potentially in class action for all other clients whom thid wasn't disclosed to...
