AT&T paid a hacker about $370,000 to delete customer data that was stolen from it as part of a hacking spree earlier this year. The hacker then provided a video to prove they had deleted the data, according to a Wired report today.

AT&T Inc. is alleged to have paid about $370,000 to delete customer data relating to nearly all of its customers following its theft by the hacking group ShinyHunters. According to Wired today, AT&T is said to have negotiated with an intermediary of ShinyHunters called Reddington to stop the data from being released.

As it turns out, AT&T reportedly paid a hacker $370,000 to delete the data and provide video proof of the deletion. Wired spoke with the hacker and reports the random was paid in May.
