【环球时报记者 于泽淼 环球时报特约记者 甄翔】据美国广播公司（ABC）报道，当地时间3月30日，美国电话电报公司（AT&T）证实，该公司发生了数据泄露事件，大量用户的数据在约半个月前被发布到暗网上。该公司正在对此事进行调查。

AT&T公司在一份声明中称，有760万个现用户和6540万个前用户的个人信息遭到泄露，包括姓名、出生日期、电子邮件地址等，但不包括个人财务信息和通话记录。AT&T补充称，公司已通过书面或电子邮件形式与受影响客户联系，被泄露的数据疑似是2019年之前的，事件暂未对公司运营造成影响。

AT&T公司在声明中称，已在内部和外部网络安全专家的支持下对此事进行严密调查。该公司还表示，目前已经重置了760万个现用户的密码，公司还将与受影响的现用户和前用户保持沟通。一旦发现有用户因数据泄露受到影响，公司将提供“免费的信用监控服务”。至于数据泄露的原因，声明称，尚不清楚是本公司还是合作厂商的原因，且目前没有证据表明数据泄露是系统遭到非授权入侵的结果。

美联社3月30日援引网络安全专家特洛伊·亨特的分析称，此次事件与2021年曝光的一起AT&T数据泄露事件高度相似，但该公司从未承认过2021年的事件。亨特表示，如果两次事件泄露的数据确属同一批，这意味着AT&T几年来未作出任何改进，导致其客户再三受到影响，“AT&T可能面临集体诉讼”。

这并不是AT&T公司今年第一次遇到问题。今年2月22日早上开始，美国各地数万名AT&T用户遭遇网络故障，无法拨打电话、发送短信或访问互联网，到了当天下午才逐渐恢复。当时AT&T公司称，网络中断是由于软件更新造成的，系统没有受到黑客攻击。

新闻译文：

According to ABC, on March 30th local time, AT&T confirmed that the company had experienced a data breach, with a large amount of user data being distributed to the dark web about half a month ago. The company is investigating this matter.

AT&T stated in a statement that the personal information of 7.6 million current users and 65.4 million former users, including names, dates of birth, email addresses, etc., has been leaked, but does not include personal financial information and call records. AT&T added that the company has contacted the affected customers in writing or via email, and the leaked data is suspected to be from before 2019, and the incident has not yet affected the company's operations.

AT&T stated in a statement that it has conducted a thorough investigation into the matter with the support of internal and external cybersecurity experts. The company also stated that it has reset the passwords of 7.6 million current users and will continue to communicate with affected current and former users. Once a user is found to be affected by data leakage, the company will provide "free credit monitoring services". As for the reason for the data breach, the statement stated that it is not clear whether it was caused by our company or our partner, and there is currently no evidence to suggest that the data breach was the result of unauthorized intrusion into the system.

On March 30th, the Associated press cited an analysis by cybersecurity expert Troy Hunter, stating that this incident is highly similar to an AT&T data breach incident exposed in 2021, but the company has never acknowledged the 2021 incident. Hunter stated that if the data leaked from two incidents does belong to the same batch, it means that AT&T has not made any improvements in recent years, causing its customers to be repeatedly affected, and "AT&T may face class action lawsuits.".

This is not the first time AT&T has encountered a problem this year. Since the morning of February 22 this year, tens of thousands of AT&T users across the United States have suffered from network failures and were unable to make calls, send text messages or access the Internet. It gradually recovered in the afternoon of the same day. At that time, AT&T claimed that the network interruption was caused by software updates and the system was not attacked by hackers.
