According to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), AT&T discovered in April that hackers had “unlawfully accessed and copied” call logs stored on a third-party cloud platform. The compromised data includes records of calls and texts from approximately May 1 to October 31, 2022, and on January 2, 2023.
