The following information was provided to me in an email alert from TransUnion. Staying informed is very important when it comes to preventing further damage to your credit. Sometimes the company, such as AT&T, will take additional steps to solved the security breach, while other times by the time you are informed, it is too late and you must take steps on your own to protect yourself. Whether or not you've been affected by this incident, you could be next – play it safe & protect yourself now with TransUnion.
AT&T Mobility has recently confirmed that it has suffered a data breach. The personal information (Social Security numbers and call records) of an undisclosed number of AT&T Mobility customers was stolen. The breach was alleged to have occurred earlier this year, April 9 through 21. The criminals appear to have been interested in information they could use to unlock phones they had already stolen. Since Social Security numbers were also involved, users are strongly encouraged to take steps to protect their identity. TransUnion recommends taking the following precautions immediately, for protection & peace of mind:
