AT&T Hacked???

AT&T recently announced that a shadow organization had attempted to obtain some customer information. The AT&T spokesman said that the organization tried to use some kind of custom autoscript that tried to determine if customer's telephone numbers were linked to online AT&T accounts. AT&T said that no accounts were breached and it only affected less than 1 percent, or 1 million customers, of the wireless accounts. AT&T said they were going to do further investigation to figure out what they were trying to do and how. It seems that the goal of the organization was a form of phishing that they were going to send messages to customers pretending to be from AT&T and steal credit card and other personal information.
