Today my payment card provider sent notice that my SSN and other private data was compromised in that big AT&T data breach.

However we haven't been AT&T customers for more than 20 years.

I'm guessing that some shifty credit reporting bureau outsourced its data processing to AT&T's leaky servers.

Anybody got a better explanation?

The ATT hack was from like 2017 or 2016, and I'm pretty sure they got all the old customer data as well as new. My stuff was in there, it had an old address from 2010 or so.

It is usually from a third party provider that you didn't even know was having your data shipped to them.

On the plus side, if you were military or had a clearance, far, far, more was leaked due to OPMB breaches.

Everything you do, you must enable MFA.

Easy Boomer, I promise your data was out there before ATT was breached.

All your data belong to sky net.

I'm sure the entire AT&T hack was an effort to get Lily's info.

On Friday I started getting massive spam calls, wonder if this is the reason.
