AT&T Confirms A Hacker Got Them!

AT&T got hacked in 2022 and revealed it now.

As much as I despise the stupidity of our country, here comes more.

Winners and losers of 2024.

I can't stand the Kia Boyz. I can't stand hackers.

Hackers are online trolls who steal personal information from victims for diabolical reasons. They often infiltrate organizations and government agencies for exposing state secrets or unethical practices.

The Heritage Foundation was hacked. The Project 2025 issue is really real. The Republicans and former president Donald J. Trump are united in revenge. This plan if enabled will not only rollback President  Joe Biden's agenda, but former presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon's policies.

With the junk food media obsessed with Biden's mental fitness after his bad debate, Democrats are starting to turn on one another. Instead of being united to defeat Trump and Republicans, Democrats are scrambling. 

The fact that Israel and its genocide is no longer mention is frustrating. The regime is still committing acts of genocide on the Palestinians and they continue to reject ceasefire agreements.

The fact that Congress is more lazier than the people they accuse of not working and pillaging from the safety net.

The fact that the Texas power grid failed again after Hurricane Beryl ravaged the state and Republicans delayed federal assistance because of Greg Abbott and his feud with Biden.

The fact that equity firms are destroying businesses. Rite Aid, Kmart, Sears, Applebee's, Walgreens, Burger King and White Castle are fading fast.

The fact Trump said he will be a dictator on day one is not being taken seriously.

The fact that we have more deadlier weather events in the world.

The fact that we have the junk food media more concerned with controversial issues that actual issues.

AT&T has announced that the company believes a hacker stole records of calls and texts from nearly all of AT&T's wireless customers, according to a financial filing from the company.

"The data does not contain the content of calls or texts, personal information such as Social Security numbers, dates of birth, or other personally identifiable information," AT&T said in their statement released early Friday morning. "These records identify the telephone numbers with which an AT&T or MVNO wireless number interacted during these periods, including telephone numbers of AT&T wireline customers and customers of other carriers, counts of those interactions, and aggregate call duration for a day or month."

AT&T says it has taken "additional cybersecurity measures" in response to this incident including closing off the point of unlawful access.

AT&T confirmed that it will provide notice to its current and former impacted customers.

"AT&T is working with law enforcement in its efforts to arrest those involved in the incident," the company said. "Based on information available to AT&T, it understands that at least one person has been apprehended. As of the date of this filing, AT&T does not believe that the data is publicly available."

"The incident was limited to an AT&T workspace on Snowflake's cloud platform and did not impact AT&T's network," the company said.

The Justice Department allowed AT&T two national security exemptions and allowed the company not to report the cyber breach publicly until Friday. For some critical infrastructure companies, the U.S. government mandates that at least 72 hours after a cyber breach, companies must report the nature of the attack to the government.

"Consistent with the Department's public guidance, AT&T notified the FBI upon learning of the incident, but prior to AT&T having made its materiality determination," the Department of Justice said in a statement. "AT&T's cooperation with the Department in this matter, including its timely advance notification to the FBI, benefited the Department's ongoing efforts to investigate the incident."

AT&T says the incident has not had a "material impact on AT&T's operations," and AT&T does not believe that the incident is "reasonably likely to materially impact AT&T's financial condition or results of operations."

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said in a statement they are aware of the incident, and are working with AT&T and other government agencies to assess the impact of the breach.

CISA is the cybersecurity arm of the Department of Homeland Security.

"As always, CISA urges all organizations to enforce stringent security measures, including multifactor authentication. We will continue to monitor and provide guidance or assistance, as needed," the statement said.

Just think about how Republicans want to cut regulations and this being a part of the irony of cutbacks and deregulation. I mean how bad has our country gotten!

Biden is not only facing Trump and Republicans but those so called Democratic allies too focused on his age instead of his policies.

Yeah, Biden's support for Israel is infuriating but Trump and Project 2025 is more infuriating.
