    I've always been amused at people who put tape on their webcams but walk around with a mobile broadband enabled multi-camera equipped GNSS tracking device with gigabit memory - that they store their banking information and all of their account passwords on.

    It's not 'hacking' in classical sense.
    Bad actors just have to listen in.......
    Our cousins, the Brits would call it an 'own goal.'

    The AT&T breach appears (at this time) to just be a case if a breach in data security that went unexploited - probably because the data (metadata) wasn't worth scraping.
    You still have to report it - and there will still be an investigation - and what are you gonna do?

    Switch to Verizon?
    TM?
    They're AT&T's biggest customers and AT&T is their biggest. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    People get into knock-down drag-out fights about the difference between the DNC and the RNC when there days - there's not that much of a difference. ;)

    When I was in the Marines, our unit operated the Marine Corps, IBM mainframe. Of all the jobs, "bursting and binding" were the team that separated the multipart reports with carbon paper and bound them into reports. Old and thankfully gone tech. A rotten job, a lot of dirty manual labor. They also corrected Hollerith cards that could not pass through the reader.

    A newly, re-enlisted, Staff Sargent showed up and he was assigned to the best job of his life, supervising "bursting and binding." But he had no tolerance from carbon stained utilities. Then one day, a card with the Staff Sargent's identification accidentally was fed into the AWOL card deck.

    Nothing happens for 30 days before it is upgraded to deserter. Then a report goes to the local FBI office. This is not the task given to TV FBI Inspectors but the FBI version of 'Bernie Fife.' On a Friday the Staff Sargent was home mowing the lawn, the FBI agents showed up. It was the weekend and the company admin office was close and the duty Officer of the Day didn't know the Staff Sargent from Adam. So he got to spend the weekend in the monkey bar hotel.

    You know, he was a better Staff Sargent afterwards.
