AT&T has begun notifying state authorities and regulators after millions of customer records posted online last month were found to be authentic.
Reports @TechCrunch: "In a legally required filing with Maine’s attorney general’s office, the U.S. telco giant said it sent out letters notifying more than 51 million people that their personal information was compromised in the data breach."
", the U.S. telco giant said it sent out letters notifying more than 51 million people that their personal information was compromised in the data breach, including around 90,000 individuals in Maine.
AT&T — the largest telco in the United States — said that the breached data included customers’ full name, email address, mailing address, date of birth, phone number and Social Security number."😱 https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/10/att-notifies-regulators-after-customer-data-breach/?guccounter=1 #cybersecurity#Telco#AT&T
Aw man looks like someone already bought the #book I was eyeing for in this #bookstore :cirno_cry:
But at least I found these lol. I already have #JomaSison's book here but I'm kinda interested in this book by #RigobertoTiglao about foreign involvement in the #corruption inside our #telco industry. :sagume_think:
#CRTC are a bunch of amateur clowns on the take. They give off an illusion they are fighting for the consumer, but are actual paid proxy for the #telco scammers.
Take a look at #global#mesh#networkmeshtastic.org. It is a #foss#decentralised#encrypted global mesh network that is seriously gaining momentum.
If there is a #SHTF event (i.e. anarchy, natural disaster) that wipes out the cellular network, meshtastic network will still work using #LoRa device nodes spread across the globe.

@olafurw In #Germany, #Telco laws enforced by @BNetzA require telcos to literally tell customers annually if their plan is still the best in terms of price and performance.
If your email address TLD has more than 4 characters, you can't sign into Public Mobile any more. They switched to "EverSafe", Telus' auth provider, a month ago.
I'm currently going back and forth with support over it. For which I had to create a second account to even access the community website.
