Stolen data includes millions of AT&T customer phone numbers, calling and text records, and location-related data

[...] AT&T said the stolen data “does not contain the content of calls or texts,” but does include calling and texting records that an AT&T phone number interacted with during the six-month period, as well as the total count of a customer’s calls and texts, and call durations — information that is often referred to as metadata. The stolen data does not include the time or date of calls or texts, AT&T said.

It’s not clear for what reason AT&T was storing customer data in Snowflake, and the spokesperson would not say.

For its part, Snowflake says it now requires all new customers to use multi-factor authentication.

Like, not having mfa in the first place was so fucking irresponsible when they store that much data. What the hell is wrong with people?

AT&T has a very long history of spying for the government. It's one of the reasons it took so long to break up their monopoly.

Yep. I used to say this decades ago and was called a crazy conspiracy theorist. When Snowden went public and confirmed it, they shut up
