This is the best summary I could come up with:


Additionally, AT&T said that for an undisclosed subset of its records, one or more cell site identification numbers linked to the calls and texts were also exposed.

The FBI said AT&T reached out shortly after learning about the hack, but the agency wanted to review the data for potential national security risks.

At that time, AT&T said personal information such as Social Security numbers on 73 million current and former customers was released onto the dark web.

In the new incident, AT&T told CNN it learned in April that customer data was illegally downloaded from its workspace on Snowflake, a third-party cloud platform.

Brad Jones, chief information security officer at Snowflake, told CNN in a separate statement that the company has not found evidence this activity was “caused by a vulnerability, misconfiguration or breach of Snowflake’s platform.” Jones said this has been verified by investigations by third-party cybersecurity experts at Mandiant and CrowdStroke.

The company said it’s cooperating with law enforcement’s efforts to apprehend those responsible and understands at least one person has already been arrested.


The original article contains 750 words, the summary contains 176 words. Saved 77%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
