Throwing caution to the winds, “kiberphant0m” tries to extort AT&T with Trump and Harris call llogs

Posted on November 7, 2024November 7, 2024 by Dissent

While many of us were waking up to the election results yesterday, at least one person was busy trying to extort AT&T using the president-elect and current vice president’s call logs.

In their post, “kiberphant0m” posted this demand concerning AT&T call logs:

TRUMP & Vice President of the United States CALL LOGS — OFFICIAL WARNING TO ATNT

If you do contact me or Reddington by Sunday, consider all of the Data to be leaked. You have until Sunday to contact me or Reddinton. In the event you do not reach out to us @ATNT all presidential government call logs will be leaked. You don’t think we don’t have plans in the event of an arrest? Think again.

I’d highly advise you to contact us.

You can reach out to me on my telegram or on-site pm’s.

Have fun with the media coverage, shouldn’t of dragged it on.

Hours later, “Reddington,”  responded to the thread, “Please do not contact me. I want no part in this. Thank you.” Reddington had previously been involved in extortion negotiations between hackers and AT&T in July. At the time, Reddington claimed that he had been contacted by a hacker in Turkey and asked to negotiate with AT&T to get the telecom to pay for the deletion of the data that had been stolen. AT&T reportedly paid $370,000 to get the hacker to delete the data. Reddington told WIRED that he did receive a fee for his services, but the fee was paid by AT&T.  Perhaps kiberphant0m hoped Reddington would serve as an intermediary again.

Kiberphant0m’s post also mentioned “Waifu,” whose real name is Alexander “Connor” Moucka. Moucka, who was also known as “Judische,” was arrested in Canada on October 30 at the request of the U.S. and is awaiting an extradition case relating to charges he was responsible for numerous clients of Snowflake being compromised, including big firms like AT&T. It seems likely that Canada will promptly cooperate with the extradition request.

In any event, now “kiberphant0m” is making its own bold move. Will Trump’s people or Harris’s people even respond at all? Or AT&T? Sample data that were presented as numbers from 2022 have been checked and there is some reporting indicating that those are numbers linked to Trump, Harris, and people who call them or whom they called.

This is a developing story….

This post was updated to clarify that it is AT&T targeted using the Trump and Harris call logs to extort them.
