WASHINGTON (Reuters) - AT&T ( T ) has agreed to pay $13 million to resolve an investigation over a data breach of a cloud vendor in January 2023 that impacted 8.9 million AT&T ( T ) customers, the Federal Communications Commission said Tuesday.

The FCC said the fine will resolve its investigation over whether AT&T ( T ) had failed to protect the information of its customers and added AT&T ( T ) had agreed to boost its data governance practices to increase supply chain integrity in the handling of sensitive data to protect consumers from similar vendor data breaches in the future.
