Hackers leak data of 88 million AT&T customers with decrypted SSNs; latest breach raises questions about links to earlier Snowflake-related attack.
Hackers have leaked what they claim is AT&T’s database which was reportedly stolen by the ShinyHunters group in April 2024 after they exploited major security flaws in the Snowflake cloud data platform. But is this really the Snowflake-linked data? We took a closer look.

Full names
Date of birth
Phone numbers
Email addresses
Physical addresses
44 Million Social Security Numbers (SSN) (43,989,219 in total)

The cryptographic weakness was made public at Recon 2024 and therefore we have no reason to keep […]
