Migliaccio & Rathod is involved in the AT&T data breach investigation.
Details About the AT&T Data Breach
Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating the AT&T data breach, a data breach affecting over 51 million individuals and their personal information.
On or about March 26, 2024, AT&T discovered that sensitive customer information had been leaked on the dark web on March 17, 2024. This was the results of a hacking event by which unauthorized access to its data was obtained. The impacted information includes:
- Name
- Social Security Number
- Email Address
- Mailing Address
- Date of Birth
- Account Number
- Password
- Phone Number
Impact of The AT&T Data Breach
AT&T informed individuals of this breach through a mailed notice, delivered on or about April 10, 2024.
All of the information stolen is likely valuable and dangerous if adversely used against affected victims. In previous data breaches, victims of data theft noticed identity theft attempts ranging from:
- fraudulent charges on bank accounts or credit cards;
- unauthorized credit card applications;
- medical services or government services ordered in their name;
- their information being posted on the dark web;
- a massive uptick in the number of spam text messages, calls and emails received;
Though credit monitoring is offered, any amount less than a lifetime of protection is simply inadequate. Data breaches present a lifetime of risk. Additionally, fraud and identity theft attempts or attacks can happen for many years following a data breach. Furthermore, individuals impacted by data breaches should remain vigilant, such as by closely monitoring their accounts, changing passwords, and acting quickly to prevent or minimize fraud once it has occurred.

Potential AT&T Litigation
As many people are undoubtedly aware, AT&T is a major American corporation providing internet, cell phone, and other telecommunications services across the country. A company like this is a prime target for hackers, so it is not surprising that AT&T was targeted cyber criminals.
Companies that hold individuals’ private information are responsible for protecting that information. When they fail to do so, they need to be held accountable. That is why the team at Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating this incident and considering all available solutions for those impacted by it. This could involve litigation.
