AT&T data breach: Millions of customers caught up in major dark web leak
Personal data belonging to 73 million current or former AT&T customers has been leaked online.
Information including addresses, social security numbers and passcodes was published on the dark web, the US telecoms giant said.
AT&T said it had not identified evidence indicating the data had been stolen but had brought in cybersecurity experts to investigate.
The company said it had reset customers' passcodes.
They were urged by the company to "remain vigilant by monitoring account activity and credit reports".
The data involved in the breach appears to be from 2019 or earlier and is linked to 7.6 million customers and 65.4 former account holders.
It also includes information such as full names, email addresses and dates of birth, though AT&T said financial information had not appeared in the leak.
The company said in a statement that it was unclear whether the data had originated from its own systems or via a third-party supplier.
AT&T's wireless 5G network covers around 290 million people across the US and the company is one of the country's largest mobile and internet services providers.
In February, a major outage impacted tens of thousands of phone users, which prompted an apology from the firm and an offer of $5 credit for those affected.
Prosecutors in New York launched an investigation into that episode, which left people unable to use their phones for around 12 hours.

AT&T resets account passcodes after millions of customer records leak online
Phone giant AT&T has reset millions of customer account passcodes after a huge cache of data containing AT&T customer records was dumped online earlier this month, TechCrunch has exclusively learned. The U.S. telco giant initiated the passcode mass-reset after TechCrunch informed AT&T on Monday that the leaked data contained encrypted passcodes that could be used to access AT&T customer accounts. A security researcher who analyzed the leaked data told TechCrunch that the encrypted account passcodes are easy to decipher.

AT&T won't say how its customers' data spilled online

A new analysis of the fully leaked dataset — containing names, home addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, and dates of birth — points to the data being authentic.

This Week in AI: Let us not forget the humble data annotator
This week in AI, I'd like to turn the spotlight on labeling and annotation startups -- startups like Scale AI, which is reportedly in talks to raise new funds at a $13 billion valuation. Labeling and annotation platforms might not get the attention flashy new generative AI models like OpenAI's Sora do. For example, labels to train an image recognition model might take the form of markings around objects, "bounding boxes" or captions referring to each person, place or object depicted in an image.

Ask it "What's happening in AI today?" and Grok will piece together a response from very recent headlines, while ChatGPT will provide only vague answers that reflect the limits of its training data (and filters on its web access). Earlier this week, Musk pledged that he would open source Grok, without revealing precisely what that meant.
