AT&T acknowledges data leak that hit 73 million current and former users
Briefly

Based on our preliminary analysis, the data set appears to be from 2019 or earlier, impacting approximately 7.6 million current AT&T account holders and approximately 65.4 million former account holders.
AT&T said the leaked information varied by customer but included full names, email addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, AT&T account numbers, and passcodes.
As security researcher Troy Hunt wrote, the data is 'out there in plain sight on a public forum easily accessed by a normal web browser.'
Hunt's post on March 19 said the leaked information included a file with 73,481,539 lines of data that contained 49,102,176 unique email addresses.
