A subscriber of bundled CenturyLink broadband and DirecTV satellite TV has sued the respective providers in a Seattle federal court for allegedly exposing customer data to the open internet.
According to GeekWire, James Santos, a resident of King County, Washington, is seeking class-action status for his complaint. He alleged that he found his March 2017 CenturyLink bill and all of his private information while conducting a simple Google search. Santos said subsequent searches outside his IP address revealed the same breach.
The suit names CenturyLink and AT&T, which has a deal with the former telecom provider to let it bundle DirecTV satellite TV service with broadband.
