The company apologized and is working to notify all affected users, but noted that “the person or group who discovered this gap did not contact AT&T.”

“We take customer privacy very seriously and while we have
fixed this problem, we apologize to our customers who were impacted,” the company said.

Gawker reported that affected customers included a number of military and government officials as well as the executives of media companies including the New York Times Company, Dow Jones, Viacom, News Corporation, Time Warner and Hearst.
