AT&T had a big data hack

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

AT&T hacker steals call, text records of 'nearly all' customers

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.

Interesting. I just signed into my AT&T account (cell phone only) and I don't even have an option to set up 2 factor.

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