Two U.S. senators on Tuesday pressed AT&T for answers about a significant hacking incident last April that resulted in the unlawful download of approximately 109 million customer accounts.

Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat heading a subcommittee on investigations, and Republican Josh Hawley are seeking specifics after AT&T revealed last Friday that call logs were extracted from its workspace on a Snowflake cloud platform. The breach affected around six months of customer data from 2022.
