		</div><p>Telecommunications giant AT&#038;T has begun notifying millions of customers about the theft of personal data recently discovered online.</p>
<p>The company said on Saturday that a dataset found on the so-called dark web contains information such as social security numbers for about 7.6 million current AT&#038;T account holders and 65.4 million former account holders.</p>
<p>Officials said they have already reset the passcodes of current users and will be communicating with account holders whose sensitive personal information was compromised.</p>
<p>It is not known if the data “originated from AT&#038;T or one of its vendors”, the company said in a statement.</p>
<p>The compromised data is from 2019 or earlier and does not appear to include financial information or call history, it said.</p>
<p>In addition to passcodes and social security numbers, it may include email and mailing addresses, phone numbers and birth dates.</p>
<p>It is not the first crisis this year for the Dallas-based company.</p>
<p>An outage in February temporarily knocked out mobile phone service for thousands of US users. AT&#038;T at the time blamed the incident on a technical coding error, not a malicious attack.</p>
