This is the best summary I could come up with:

AT&T on Friday disclosed that hackers had accessed records of calls and texts of “nearly all” its cellular customers for a six-month period between May 1, 2022 to Oct. 31, 2022.

The telecom giant said that it learned about the illegal download in April, and that it is working with law enforcement, noting that “at least one person has been apprehended.”

In that case, hackers have stolen personal information for millions of current and former AT&T customers, with the fraudsters sharing the data on the dark web.

“These types of identity-based attacks that exfiltrate customer records can allow attackers to piece together the personal data of individuals, including names, phone numbers, addresses and financial and Social Security details, placing millions of people at risk for identity theft or fraud,” said Dan Schiappa, chief product and services officer at Arctic Wolf, a cybersecurity company.

Customers “can also request a report that provides a more user-friendly version of technical information that was compromised,” a spokesperson told CBS MoneyWatch.

However, it warned customers to be cautious about email or text requests that ask for personal, account or credit card information.
