That was my thought: AT&T didn’t get breached and leak the customer data of 71 million themselves. They merely sold that data to a third party who got breached and leaked the customer data of 71 million people.
So this was pretty old and customers got notified by AT&T that it was a 3rd party vendor they were selling data to.
Okay, so it’s either:
They might have been better off claiming incompetence. OTOH, we already know AT&T is malicious from project Fairview, so perhaps in the end it’s better for PR to just stay in the malicious lane and not be regarded as both malicious and incompetent.
