Hey, uh, could I not have my data stolen for FIVE FUCKING SECONDS?!
Important part below the preview:
AT&T said the hacked data did not include the content of calls and text messages. At this point, the exposed data is not believed to be publicly available.
Still bad, but it could have been far worse.
That said, I would bet that if this hasn’t already happened to most other carriers and it hasn’t been made public yet, it will happen soon enough.
Yup that’s my guess too
If they never stored this data, it wouldn’t exist to steal.
NSA: “Damn look at all this data we totally don’t already have”
Anyone mind explaining what the hacker(s) was (were) going to do with the limited information they got? I read the security filing said they got a list of which phone numbers texted/called which phone numbers and what durations, but none of the actual content.
I’m guessing political blackmail. It’s easy to start linking phone numbers and find the senator that’s been texting his mistress every day or spending hour long calls with Russian numbers, etc
