Breach reports

The AT&T Mobile Security1 Basic service includes breach reports. This feature sends email and app alerts when a company, app, or service you may use or follow experiences a data breach. You’ll also get practical advice (when available) on what to do if a data breach occurs.

Make sure to customize your alerts to get notified if your info is affected by a data breach.

Types of info impacted
Each breach differs based on the types of info the impacted company stores, like your:
  • Personal info (name, email, passwords, Social Security number, driver’s license number, medical records)
  • Financial info (debit and credit card numbers)

Ways to customize your breach report alerts
While you can’t opt out of getting alerts, you can add or remove companies or services you follow.
  1. Open the app and tap Breach Reports.
  2. Tap Manage.
  3. Update your alert list:
  4. To add: Tap +, find the name of the service(s) you want to follow, and tap Done. Tap Save.
  5. To remove: Tap Edit, select the service(s) you want to stop following, and select the trash can. Tap Close.
