Four Arrested in AT&T Hacking; Group Allegedly Paid by Saudi Terrorist Group

The FBI, with the help of local law enforcement, arrested four people in the Philippines last week allegedly hacking into AT&T’s computer system.
CNET News reports that the four were allegedly paid by the same Saudi Arabian terrorist group that funded the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
