    AT&T says hacker stole data on ‘nearly all’ of its wireless customers

    A hacker accessed and downloaded call and text-message data from nearly
    all AT&T Wireless customers, the company disclosed in a securities
    filing Friday.

    The breach covers calls and texts made from May 1 to Oct. 31, 2022, as
    well as this past January. The stolen data include numbers customers
    called or texted and their duration, but doesn’t contain the content of
    those communications, AT&T said. The company said it doesn’t think the records are available online.

    AT&T has nearly 90 million wireless subscribers, and the hack also
    affects information from reseller brands that use the AT&T network.
