AT&T Says Personal Information From 73 Million Customers Leaked On The Dark Web—Including Social Security Numbers
The data leak includes customers’ Social Security numbers, among other information, the company said.
Hey, does anyone else remember the 2017 Equifax breach? No? Just me?
Yeah, we're all compromised. Thanks, capitalism.
Edit: oh, right - Equifax still gets to continue business!
TBD, they did offer $25 in a class action settlement, which probably equates to the value of permanent PII data visibility on the Internet. /S
Oh i remember.
Not only do they get to continue business, they never received any sort of punishment whatsoever. Not even a fine.
Not only that, the service they generously offered to help those affected for free in lieu of fines is a data harvesting goldmine.
You're literally giving the company that lost control of its data, more data to use for marketing and profit.
IT nerd: Sure, security costs money, but we care about protecting our customers more, right? Right?
Boss: We care about the money more.
Att: there’s no way it’s ours dude
Att: it was ours dude
I think it’s about time we stopped using social security numbers for everything and came up with a better system.
Cool. Can't wait for someone to steal my identity.
Its been almost 50 years since public key cryptography was discovered. The fact that its not used for everything financial now is inexcusable
A free year of credit monitoring for 73 million!
