The US government has accused two individuals, Connor Moucka and John Binns, of hacking into 10 companies, including AT&T, and stealing sensitive data.
They allegedly extorted 36 bitcoin from their victims and sold the stolen data on the dark web.
Moucka was arrested in Canada, while Binns was arrested in Turkey for crimes committed in 2021.
The stolen data included customer records, financial information, and personally identifiable information.
