. The report claimed some 86 million AT&T customer records have been leaked, including full names, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, and social security numbers. In total, Hack Read reported that 44 million social security numbers were included in the leaked data.

The social security numbers and birth dates were encrypted in the original hack by the ShinyHunters group, a leak that was made possible by security flaws in the Snowflake cloud data platform, as Mashable previously reported. Now, Hack Read has reported that this sensitive data is now decrypted.

We asked AT&T about the reported leak of their customer data. An AT&T spokesperson told Mashable in a statement that “it is not uncommon for cybercriminals to re-package previously disclosed data for financial gain.”

“We are aware of claims that AT&T data is being made available for ***** on dark web forums, and we are conducting a full investigation,” the spokesperson added.

So, if you’re an AT&T customer, this means your valuable private data could be part of this new leak. However, if your data was exposed in this leak, it was likely — although not certainly — already exposed in the August 2024 National Public Data breach. Mashable previously reported on this breach, which exposed “three decades’ worth of Social Security numbers on the online ****** market.”

You can find out if your data was exposed in that breach by using a tool from Pentester, a cybersecurity firm, to check. Visit
