[FastCompany] Over the weekend, AT&T announced that millions of its current and former customers may have had significant details about them released on the dark web. The company says the leak happened in mid-March and it does not yet know where the leaked data originated from. Here’s what to know if you are a current or former AT&T customer. As of this morning, I've had nothing from AT&T about my account. Went in and changed password and passcode, but thanks for leaking everything someone needs to steal my identity, guys...
WHAT AT&T CUSTOMERS ARE AFFECTED?
Tens of millions of current and former AT&T customers are affected by the data leak. AT&T says about 7.6 million current AT&T account holders had information included in the leak. In addition, about 65.4 million former account holders also had their data leaked.
That brings the total number of current and former account holders who have their data leaked to 73 million.
WHAT AT&T CUSTOMER INFORMATION WAS LEAKED?
AT&T says the information leaked varied by customer. But the leaked data about any individual customer may include the following:
full name
email address
mailing address
phone number
social security number
date of birth
AT&T account number
AT&T passcode
HOW OLD IS THE DATA THAT WAS LEAKED?
AT&T says that while the data was released on the dark web in mid-March, the data appears to be from 2019 or earlier.
HOW SERIOUS OF A THREAT IS THIS TO AFFECTED USERS?
It could pose a significant threat to users if the leaked data is used to commit identity theft against the individual. The leaked social security numbers are especially concerning since, SSNs are one of the primary pieces of data that needs to be provided when someone applies for a loan or credit card.
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY DATA WAS LEAKED?
AT&T says it is sending messages to affected individuals via postal mail or email. The company says it will be offering affected individuals complimentary credit monitoring identity theft services.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY AT&T INFORMATION WAS LEAKED?
It would be a good idea to keep an eye on your credit report as this will show most new financial accounts that are opened in your name. If you notice an account that you did not open, you should contact the account’s institution right away.
Many financial and banking apps offer the ability to view your free credit report right in the app. You can also obtain a copy of your credit report by going to freecreditreport.com.
Another thing you should do if you are still an AT&T customer is reset your AT&T passcode, which may have been compromised in the data leak. AT&T says it has already reset the passcodes of those affected, but it is probably a good idea to reset your passcode even if it wasn’t included in the leaked data.

ATT is a great product built by very smart engineers. But like everything else a new generation has moved in. Instead of maintaining the product they are outside the building out on the street corners pontificating radical bullsh!!t the latest universities pumped into their heads. In the mean time people are developing alternatives such as what just brought Trump 9 Billion dollars
[Daily Caller] Pennsylvania Democrat Senator John Fetterman’s three top communication aides resigned within the past month.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Nick Gavio, Fetterman’s deputy communications director, will depart by the end of March to assume a new position with the Working Families Party.
One can see why Socialist would want to leave Senator Fetterman’s team.
Earlier this month, Joe Calvello, the Senator’s previous communications director, departed to join Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s team.
Hizzoner was an activist for the Chicago teachers union activist and Black lives, and a key plank of his last election platform was defunding the police. He’s since felt the need to walk back that last, verbally at least.
Emma Mustion, a press and digital aide, has also left Fetterman’s office to contribute to Sen. Bob Casey’s reelection campaign.
Second gen. PA politician — his father was the governor at one point — he is relatively socially conservative for a Democrat.
"It’s an absolute honor and a privilege to come to Chicago and serve the people of this great city," said Calvello in a statement to the media regarding his appointment to Johnson’s administration. "Mayor Johnson is a true progressive committed to fighting for the working people and families of the City of Chicago, and I am deeply honored to join his administration and get to work. I will be laser-focused on driving the Mayor’s vision for the City of Chicago, a vision that will cement Chicago as a city that truly worksfor everyone."
The mass staff exit coincides with Fetterman’s recent public feud with congressional Democrats and the Biden administration over his stance on border security and the Israel-Hamas conflict. (RELATED: ’Hard Disagree’: Dem Senator Hits Back At Kamala Harris’ Remarks On Israel}
"We now know this was a wide-scale, premeditated, cowardly, terrorist campaign against Israeli civilians that also claimed the lives of American citizens," said Fetterman after the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas. "I unequivocally support any necessary military, intelligence, and humanitarian aid to Israel. The United States is morally obligated to be in lockstep with our allies as they confront this threat. "I also fully support Israel neutralizing the terrorists responsible for this barbarism."

[Gateway] Five doctors and medical staff are under investigation after a student died following her Covid vaccination.
Is accountability happening after all?
The Italian public prosecutor put five doctors and medical staff under investigation after an 18 year old girl died after receiving the AstraZeneca covid vaccine.
The student went to an "open day" event near Genoa in Italy on the 25th of May where she got vaccinated. She died shortly afterwards on the 18th of June in 2021.
In the autopsy they found that she did not have any previous medical conditions and she had not taken any medication. They concluded that it was likely that she died from blood clots as a result of getting the covid vaccine.

Good. Finally. If rantburgers have been following this scandal (difficult due to the censorship infowar) then you might be aware these dangerous gene-vaccines are the bright idea of the US Department of Defense.
The pentagon opened its bottomless wallet and paid Big Pharma to produce these products so it could establish a 100-day countermeasure platform using mRNA technology
The result is countless thousands of dead and maimed people across the world
I love the USA, they are Australia’s most important ally. But your democracy has been sidelined by your security state which no longer has meaningful civilian oversight, and there is nobody to hold them accountable or reign in their stupider ideas
This is the worst crime in history and nobody is being held to account.

Ahahha yes failed bigly indeed.
But then the fake rabbit hole of “was it made in the lab” chewed the headlines for a year to starve the real story of oxygen —- that the products didn’t work and were actualky dangerous
The real disease was hubris and the illusion of T-shaped expertise
Eg Bill Gates. “I am a successful billionaire monopoly capitalist. I bet I could be expert in public health despite no medical training if i just buy good advisors and fund research. I will turn my talents to public health. I will be a genius in public health just like in monoply software sales”
12 months later…. Soccer players dropping dead on the field. Died suddenly is now a thing. And CEPI is still pushing it now fleecing you through COVAX to buy product for the healthy 3rd world who escaped round 1 due to poverty.
The meek really will inherit the earth if they keep pushing mRNA adult gene-vaccines. They will be the only ones left

Kunstler today:
" I had the honor of interviewing the Belgian virologist Geert Vanden Bossche on Friday for my podcast, and he had quite a sobering message. “What I am predicting,” he said, “is a massive, massive tsunami” of illness and death among highly-vaccinated populations with dysregulated immune systems"

^ I think the plan was to kill about 1/3 of the Earth's population. In that respect it was a failure. I also believe the lock downs put everyone wise to the gerbil gummint total control angle and the public won't be having that again. So two fails. And the big bolus of money for big pharma? That's spent now too. So three fails.

I don't recall the hullabaloo about massive deaths in India/Pak/Africa. Perhaps they weren't the focus?

As I recall, India in the end did not have huge numbers of Covid deaths, though like everyone else they graphed the rise and eventual fall. Fqctors included hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, lots of sunlight and fresh air, low levels of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, and a population skewed toward youth rather than old age.
[Federalist] Nine months ago, nearly everything in my life was as good as could be. I was a newly married to my favorite person on the planet. Finances were in order. I lived in proximity to family and had a robust church community and loving friend group. I felt fulfilled in my work, among countless other big and small blessings.
So why was I an emotional wreck?
I’d never felt less like myself in my life — anxious, ragey, and sad almost all the time. What was wrong, my husband and girlfriends wanted to know. I couldn’t tell them. The answer was honestly and truly nothing.
Nothing except for one teensy thing: a tiny round pill I ingested every morning at the same time for years.
My doctor had prescribed me the oral hormonal contraceptive several years prior as a Band-Aid for stubborn acne. At the time, I was exasperated, desperate to try anything that would work to clear my adult skin — when I learned about the silver bullet of birth control.
