Cyber attacks are common in many companies but the ones with internal support get the most impact. It appears like few employees at AT&T – one of the leading mobile carriers in the US has been getting bribed from a Pakistani man to gain access to their computer network.
“This defendant thought he could safely run his bribery and hacking scheme from overseas, making millions of dollars while he induced young workers to choose greed over ethical conduct. Now he will be held accountable for the fraud and the lives he has derailed.”, said Brian Moran, the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Washington.
