AT&T criticized for startling “buy a new phone or lose service” warning
This week AT&T started sending out emails about how users will need a new smartphone if they want to continue “receiving service.” AT&T’s message does not suggest that users will lose service instantly – but they DO suggest that some users will NEED to upgrade to a new phone if they plan on continuing to get phone calls by the time the countdown is done.
An update email from AT&T suggested that they’re upgrading their network “to use the latest technologies.” AT&T continues, saying “these updates are to serve you better and bring faster speeds and greater reliability.”
If you’re the sort of person who generally refuses to upgrade to a new phone unless your old phone is completely non-functional, you might not be happy with this news. The good news is that there is a bit of time before your phone will stop working with AT&T’s network.
In the message from AT&T, an AT&T representative linked to an AT&T support page which detailed the phasing out of AT&T’s 3G network by 2022. According to AT&T, you’ll need a new phone by February of the year 2022.*

Know Thy Enemy: The Taxonomies That Meta Uses to Map the Offensive Privacy Space
This talk introduces and examines privacy-inclusive taxonomies Meta has developed and uses to track privacy weaknesses, enumerate privacy adversarial TTPs, deconflict privacy and security efforts, and scale detection and remediation efforts. Taxonomies, such as #MITRE's #CVE, #CAPEC, and #ATT&CK® #frameworks, have long been used to track and understand cybersecurity weaknesses and the tactics of cyber adversaries. These taxonomies help #organizations stay abreast of trends, guide software development best practices, and pinpoint the most effective remediation and detection strategies to common #cybersecurity issues. As the field of offensive privacy matures, organizations require similar taxonomies to understand #privacy threats and align efforts across #security and privacy teams....

Hackers leveraging stolen Snowflake account credentials have stolen records of calls and texts made by “nearly all” of AT&T’s cellular customers from May to October 2022, the company has confirmed.
Based on our investigation, the compromised data includes files containing AT&T records of calls and texts of nearly all of AT&T’s cellular customers, customers of mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) using AT&T’s wireless network, as well as AT&T’s landline customers who interacted with those cellular numbers between May 1, 2022 – October 31, 2022,” AT&T detailed.
