Thieves Exploit AT&T Data to Steal iPhones at Doorsteps

Porch pirates are using leaked tracking information to intercept iPhone deliveries, particularly targeting AT&T shipments via FedEx.

A surge in iPhone thefts has been reported, with thieves using tracking data to time their heists precisely after delivery.
The East Coast, including states like New York and Florida, has seen a significant rise in these targeted thefts.
Law enforcement suspects internal breaches at AT&T may be leaking tracking information, although no official confirmation has been made.
AT&T's policy of not requiring signatures for high-value shipments is contributing to the vulnerability of these deliveries.
Consumers are advised to use security measures such as signature requirements, secure delivery locations, and video surveillance to protect their packages.
