   >A well-known threat actor with a long list of previous breaches is selling private data that was allegedly collected from 70 million AT&T customers. We analyzed the data and found it to include social security numbers, date of birth, and other private information. The hacker is asking $1 million for the entire database (direct sell) and has provided RestorePrivacy with exclusive information for this report.

   >Update: AT&T has initially denied the breach in a statement to RestorePrivacy. The hacker has responded by saying, “they will keep denying until I leak everything.”
