According to TechCrunch, the U.S. government has charged Connor Moucka and John Binns with hacking into AT&T's systems, resulting in the theft of approximately 50 billion customer call and text records. In July, AT&T disclosed that hackers had accessed the phone records of nearly all its cellular and landline customers, including details of who contacted whom, but not the content of the messages. AT&T planned to notify around 110 million customers about the breach, which involved data stored on Snowflake, a cloud service provider for data analysis. The Department of Justice's indictment, filed on Sunday, revealed the extent of the stolen records, although it did not explicitly name AT&T, referring instead to "Victim-2," a major U.S. telecommunications company breached around April 14. This aligns with AT&T's previous confirmation of a breach discovered on April 19, suggesting that "Victim-2" is likely AT&T. Neither AT&T nor DOJ spokesperson Emily Langlie provided comments on the matter.
