I am not an ATT customer, but just a general comment, this is like who cares so what at this point in time
Personal data beaches of millions of people have happened so many times now
My personal data has been in a dozen or more major breaches
LOCK/FREEZE YOUR CREDIT, even if not in a known breach you are a dumb fuck if you don't
Get an IP PIN with the IRS
Contact the Social Security Administration by phone at 800-772-1213 and request to block electronic access to your Social Security information
and self lock at https://www.e-verify.gov
Your employer, the IRS, your doctor, your health insurance, your dentist, anyone you have ever applied for credit with and their partners/affiliates none of them give a flying fuck about protecting your data.
Your information is out there like never before
and
its never been this easy for people to steal your info

Until we have actual penalties for data breaches this is going to continue.

The wife and I are retired, have a couple fixed income direct deposits, don't have credit and haven't for 20 years.
2 Factor when even it's available, Texts alerts for deductions, deposits, and balances over/under a limit.
Have locked with the 3 credit bureaus but it really doesn't matter because WE can't even get credit.
We do have AT&T for DSL and a land line, Changes are locked.
A couple times our debit cards have been hacked, likely by clerks in gas stations when the reader wouldn't work, but got everything back.
Luckily only one card at a time while we wait for a replacement. I watch the accounts often.
If the cushion in the bank accounts aren't high enough, we just wait until next month for a big purchase.
Waiting on this year's RMD to have a party
Hate to sound like a "Poor", but credit doesn't interest me.
