I recommend, primarily based on my experiences with information breaches through the years, that AT&T is about to have a really dangerous time of it. Class actions following information breaches have turn out to be all too frequent and I've written earlier than about how a lot I despise them. The difficulty for AT&T (in my non-legal however "hey, I'm the info breach man" opinion), will likely be their denial of a breach in 2021 and the following years through which tens of thousands and thousands of social safety numbers had been floating round. As a lot because it's laborious for the sufferer of id theft to say "this occurred due to that breach", it's additionally laborious for the company sufferer of a breach to say that id theft didn't occur due to their breach. Significantly in such a litigious a part of the world, I wouldn't be in any respect shocked if the authorized value of this runs into the tens if not a whole bunch of thousands and thousands of {dollars}. I doubt the plaintiffs will see a lot of this, however there's positive going to be some joyful attorneys on the market!
