Cell Phone Records Security
As you may have read or seen in the media, a number of websites are advertising the availability for sale of wireless phone records. Please know that AT&T does not sell customer information to, or otherwise cooperate with, these companies, and we are working aggressively to combat their practices. AT&T has filed lawsuits against several of such companies, and has obtained restraining orders prohibiting them from obtaining customer information or providing it to anyone.
AT&T is supporting efforts to criminalize the unauthorized acquisition or sale of wireless phone records. We are also working with law enforcement to address the practice that we call Cell Phone Record Ripoffs.
In addition, AT&T has a variety of safeguards in place to protect against unauthorized access to customer information, and we continue to evaluate and enhance these safeguards.
If you wish to better protect your account from unauthorized access, contact us at 1-800-331-0500 and ask that a passcode be placed on your account.
