A hacker who claims to have stolen sensitive call and text records from US telecommunications company AT&T said they were paid about $400,000 to wipe the databases, Foresight News reported.
Analysis of the Bitcoin wallet address provided by the hacker showed a transaction in mid-May that matched the ransom payment. A person familiar with the ransomware negotiations confirmed that AT&T paid the hacker, and it is not clear whether it paid the hacker through a third party.
