Hackers stole six months' worth of call and text message records of nearly every AT&T cellular network customer, the company said Friday.

The company said in an SEC filing it learned from an internal investigation that in April, hackers "unlawfully accessed and copied AT&T call logs" that were saved on a third-party cloud platform.

The data contains records of calls and texts between approximately May 1 and Oct. 31, 2022, and on Jan. 2, 2023.
