Hackers Leak 86 Million AT&T Records with Decrypted SSNs

Hackers have leaked personal data from approximately 86 million AT&T customers, including fully decrypted Social Security Numbers. The breach, allegedly linked to the ShinyHunters group, exposes names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. Most concerning is that previously encrypted SSNs have been decrypted, significantly increasing identity theft risks. While AT&T is investigating and suggests this may be repackaged data from previous incidents, Canadian professionals should remain vigilant about cross-border data security implications affecting international business communications.
