Isn’t this also going into cyberattack / responsible disclosure territory? They might be opening themselves up to a class action with this.
Comment on Former telecom manager admits to doing SIM swaps for $1,000

None of the paperwork says what company he worked for, which is strange.

Right, I think the clients of the telecom company should know if someone was sim swapping their accounts. Then again, they might have already been told.

According to the article there were five victims. That is not a class actionable deal, methinks.

If it’s only 5 that’s true. That said those 5 can file. And additionally, the state could potentially file because there was no timely disclosure, although I’m not 100% sure about that one, bexause I know my GDPR better than my US privacy laws.

I didn’t notice that. All documentation just refers to the company as “Company-1”.
I’m guessing the company made a deal they would cooperate if their name isn’t included in.
Not sure how accurate but I found someone with the same name and age in Marlton, NJ on Spokeo.
His two cell phone numbers say “AT&T Mobility”. His landline says Verizon. I’m going to guess he worked for AT&T. Could be wrong though.

If it’s seems a little shady, probably AT&T.
