Very old news. All they got were some email addresses. Also, the idiots weren't so much attempting to steal as they were looking for some limelight; show how clever they were and how dumb AT&T was.

Would have worked too, if the ego-hackers hadn't grabbed a few thousand more email addresses than they needed to make their point, and then to compound the stupidity released the list to publishers. And Gizmodo for all the bad choices of publishers to choose.
