AT&T says users who are affected by recent cyberattacks are not from company’s servers
Last week T-Mobile raised the issue after it confirmed the biggest fraud in customer data – its fourth fraud in four years. It has recently emerged that something similar is happening to its rival in charge of the country, AT&T a post on an illegal hacker forum claiming to have customer data from 70 million people, valued at $200,000. But unlike T-Mobile’s response, AT&T says its sample data investigation shows it does not come from the company’s servers.
MarketWatch cited an AT&T email sent to members of the media: “According to our investigation today, the information seen in the online chat does not appear to be from our programs.” The obvious conclusion is that it is possible that data was collected from third-party sources provided access to AT&T’s customer information (which is quite possible), or that the poster at the forum simply creates data and requires a quick payment date.
That could also happen, we are talking about criminals who steal data illegally in order to sell it for the purpose of identity theft. It is not hard to believe that people who say they will be more than just sleeping their way through the air. Now maybe a natural time to do so, soon after the same company confirmed another successful entry of its programs.
In the same letter, it should also point out that a large telecommunications company has sufficient reasons to, should we, say, “play down” the news that its data security is not true. The only thing we can say for sure is that customer data attacks, as well as the market and culture around them, are not going away anytime soon.

In the last 12 months, Samsung Service Centers in India have saved over 17 million sheets of paper, thanks to its “Go Paper-free” Initiative. In the last two years since the launch of the initiative, more than 33 million sheets of paper have been saved till now.
The company’s service centers across the country had gone paperless as part of a global initiative to offer customers an eco-conscious alternative to paper documents. Samsung also boasted that India was one of the first countries to adopt the paper-free system with more than 11,000 service centers in 180 countries.
The pilot project that was kicked off in July 2021 across the country has given a sustainable solution to customers. Apart from the savings in paper usage, what this means for customers is faster transactions at the Samsung service centers and contact-less exchange between consumers and service executives.
“Our service centres across India have followed paperless operations that offer an eco-conscious alternative for two years now. This brings in a lot of convenience for customers as it reduces transaction time and they no longer need to take care of physical documents,” said Sunil Cutinha, Samsung India VP.
All documents previously issued to customers on paper are now being shared over email and WhatsApp, saving 1.5 million A4-sized sheets of paper a month. This also includes replacing internal office work documents at service centers with electronic documents.
Through the global campaign, Samsung expects that approximately 6 million liters of water, 1 will be saved each year. In addition, nearly 526 tons of carbon emissions will be reduced, which can be translated into the amount of carbon absorbed by 61,000 30-year-old pine trees in a year.
