Massive Data Breach Exposes Millions of AT&T Customers' Personal Information

A major data breach has exposed the personal information of 88 million AT&T customers, along with data from other companies like Cartier and Victoria's Secret. The breach, which was discovered recently, involved the theft of names, email addresses, phone numbers, and social security numbers.
