The Department of Justice's indictment reveals that hackers Connor Moucka and John Binns extracted personal customer information from AT&T, affecting approximately 50 billion records, highlighting a monumental breach in telecommunication security.
AT&T's notification indicated that nearly all of its customers' records were stolen, encompassing calls and text message information, though without capturing the actual contents of those communications.
The indictment, indirectly naming AT&T as 'Victim-2', aligns with the specifics previously disclosed by the company, confirming the scale and timing of the security incident.
In conjunction with accessing sensitive records, the hackers reportedly extorted at least three victims, obtaining around $2.5 million in bitcoin over nearly a year.
