BREAKING: U.S. phone giant AT&T confirmed Friday it will notify millions of consumers about a fresh data breach that allowed cybercriminals to steal the phone and text records of "nearly all" of its customers, a company spokesperson told TechCrunch.

AT&T confirmed the breach was linked to a data theft at cloud data giant Snowflake. AT&T said the data breach affects at least 110 million AT&T customers.

AT&T said in its statement that “at least one person has been apprehended” following the data breach. AT&T said the person was not an employee.

Incident response firm Mandiant is tracking the crime crew behind the Snowflake account breaches as UNC5537, a financially motivated threat group with members in North America and at least one member in Turkey.

FBI has not commented on the arrest — yet.
