If you use AT&T you may want to be aware of this

I wonder if Trump uses AT&T and we're going to start seeing his texts on the internet?

I wonder if this explains why today brought an e-mail from AT&T warning me that my account will be deactivated if I don't click a link to set up two-layer authentication.

My land-line is AT&T and how I get my DSL.
