None of the paperwork says what company he worked for, which is strange.

I'm guessing the company made a deal they would cooperate if their name isn't included in.
Not sure how accurate but I found someone with the same name and age in Marlton, NJ on Spokeo.
His two cell phone numbers say "AT&T Mobility". His landline says Verizon. I'm going to guess he worked for AT&T. Could be wrong though.

Isn't this also going into cyberattack / responsible disclosure territory? They might be opening themselves up to a class action with this.
3 0 ReplyRight, I think the clients of the telecom company should know if someone was sim swapping their accounts. Then again, they might have already been told.
2 0 ReplyAccording to the article there were five victims. That is not a class actionable deal, methinks.
1 0 ReplyIf it's only 5 that's true. That said those 5 can file.
Also I'm curious if there is another claim potentially in class action for all other clients whom thid wasn't disclosed to...
