FBI leaders have warned that hackers who breached AT&T's system last year likely stole months of agents' call and text logs, prompting an urgent effort to safeguard confidential informants' identities.
The breach, believed to have compromised all FBI devices using the bureau's AT&T public safety service, included agents' mobile phone numbers and the numbers they used to call and text.
While the hacked records did not expose the content of communications, they could link investigators to their secret sources, highlighting a significant risk to informant safety.
The FBI has a solemn responsibility to protect the identity and safety of confidential human sources, who provide information that keeps the American people safe.
