AT&T CEO John Stankey should have resigned over the catastrophic data leak that AT&T announced on Friday. Seeing, however, as Stankey is evidently more concerned with keeping his $26 million-a-year job than taking responsibility for his firm’s catastrophic failure, Congress should urgently summon him for questioning.

To understand why this leak is so serious, consider two points from this CNN summation. First, that AT&T had 110 million cellphone plan subscribers at the end of 2022. Second, that “AT&T said the compromised data includes the telephone numbers of ‘nearly all’ of its cellular customers and the customers of wireless providers that used its network between May 1, 2022 and October 31, 2022.”
