New details have emerged regarding the massive AT&T hack that compromised the personal<\/a> data of approximately 110 million customers. Reports have surfaced indicating that the company paid a ransom, in Bitcoin to the hacker to secure the removal of the compromised data, which contained details, like customer phone numbers and contact records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to sources, the AT&T hack was carried out by a member of the notorious ShinyHunters hacking group, who gained access to the data through unsecured Snowflake<\/a> cloud storage accounts. The hacker requested $1 million, in Bitcoin at first. At&t ended up paying, around $373,000 to ensure the data was deleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an unusual move, AT&T contacted the FBI before reporting the AT&T hack to the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC). The FBI asked the carrier to hold off on announcing the breach<\/a> allowing them more time before following the four day SEC reporting rule. This event is reportedly the time the Justice Department has requested a company to postpone an SEC disclosure, for reasons related to security or public safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FBI’s involvement in the AT&T hack allowed them to review the stolen data for potential risks and even led to at least one arrest based on the information provided by AT&T. The postponement of making information<\/a> public may raise concerns regarding openness highlighting the challenges involved in managing data breaches and their potential impact, on security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
