  AT&T - hackers accessed customers cards

  Yikes
  .. Hackers broke into one of AT&T computer networks and stole
  credit card data and other personal information from several thousand
  customers who shopped at the telecommunication giant's online store.

  
  

  AT&T said it was notifying "fewer than 19,000" customers whose
  data was accessed during the weekend break-in, which it said was
  detected within hours.

  
  

  The company said it immediately shut down the online store, notified
  credit card companies, and was working with law enforcement agencies to
  track down the hackers. "We recognize that there is an active market
  for illegally obtained personal information," Priscilla Hill-Ardoin,
  AT&T's chief privacy officer, said in a statement.

  
  

  "We will work closely with law enforcement to bring these data
  thieves to account," Hill-Ardoin said. AT&T said it would also pay
  for credit monitoring services to assist in protecting the customers
  involved. The data theft involved people who had bought DSL equipment
  for high-speed Internet access.
