FBI Warns of Hacked Agent Phone Logs

Bloomberg reports that an internal FBI document reveals hackers breached AT&T's system last year, stealing months of call and text logs from FBI agents.

The FBI is working to protect informant identities and is investigating the breach. This highlights the vulnerability of telecom data and the challenges in safeguarding sensitive information.
