AT&T has confirmed that its customer data has been compromised

Coming on the heels of the recent breach at restaurant chain P.F. Chang’s, AT&T states that a third-party vendor managed to expose personal data for an untold number of customers earlier this year. According to a letter AT&T sent to its customers, the breach was caused by a service that unlocks cell phones for its customers. The company believes the service only caused the breach as a means of spoofing customer identities in order to unlock phones. AT&T states that the data was accessed between April 19th and 21st, and have since taken steps to prevent it from happening again. “.
