AT&T insiders were bribed with over $1 million to unlock 2 million phones and hack their employer, the DOJ claims
Share to twitterAT&T was hacked by its own employees, who were bribed by a 34-year-old fraudster from Pakistan, according to DOJ charges. A 34-year-old from Pakistan has been extradited from Hong Kong to the U.S., over allegations he bribed AT&T employees over five years to unlock more than 2 million phones. He was also accused of hacking into AT&T computers.
The defendant, whose legal counsel had not responded to a request for comment at the time of publication, was using a number of front companies as he approached AT&T employees in Boswell, according to the DOJ. He'd call or Facebook message them and when he'd convinced them to become part of the scheme, he'd tell them to open their own shell businesses so they could receive payment, according to the charges.
