Dallas-based AT&T is facing a class action lawsuit after the company announced that the data of “nearly all” of its customers was downloaded to a third-party platform in a security breach. It was the company’s second data breach reported this year, WFAA in Dallas reports. The suit, filed Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, alleges that AT&T “has not been transparent about the nature and extent of data security lapses impacting its customers,” failed to adequately protect customers’ data from third parties, and earned “unjust enrichment” from customers after failing to protect their information.
