AT&T Inc. said Tuesday that computer hackers illegally accessed credit
card data and other personal information from several thousand
customers who bought DSL equipment from AT&T’s online store.

The phone company said it is notifying "fewer than 19,000" customers
whose data was accessed over the past weekend.

The company said it noticed the hacking "within hours," immediately
shut down the online store, notified credit card companies and is
working with law enforcement agencies to investigate the incident and
find the hackers.
