To know if you were part of the AT&T data breach, you can use the free Malwarebytes Digital Footprint Portal. By entering your email address on this tool, it will scan the internet and dark web to determine if your data was exposed in the breach. If the portal shows a pink bubble with the message “Exposed on AT&T breach,” it means your information was affected. A green bubble indicates your data was not part of the breach, though it could still have been exposed in other breaches. Additionally, you may start receiving official notifications from AT&T or related settlement communications if you qualify for compensation due to the breach. The breach affected over 73 million current and former AT&T customers, involving personal information such as names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, phone numbers, and call/text logs from certain periods. AT&T also reset customer passcodes as a precaution after the breach became known. If affected, you may want to monitor your credit reports and financial accounts closely for unusual activity. Here is the main step you can take now:
- Use the Malwarebytes Digital Footprint Portal to check if your data was included in the breach by entering your email address.
You may also watch for official communications from AT&T regarding settlements and compensation eligibility related to this breach.
