Web3 Executive Suggests AT&T Data Breach Could Have Been Prevented with Blockchain Technology

A Web3 executive believes that the recent data breach at multinational telecommunications company AT&T could have been avoided if the data were stored on the blockchain. On July 12, AT&T disclosed in a filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that an investigation revealed a breach compromising customer data. The attackers accessed and copied call logs stored with a third-party cloud provider. The data included records of calls, texts, and phone numbers. Although the content of communications was not compromised, the company fears that hackers could use tools to link phone numbers to customer identities. Tim Kravchunovsky,
