Here are three possible steps to take: 

#1 Monitor Your Accounts: Keep a close eye on your email, phone, and other accounts that may have been compromised in the breach. Look out for suspicious activity or unauthorized changes.

 #2 Change Your Passwords: If you're an AT&T customer and haven't already, change your account passwords. Use strong, unique passwords for each account and consider using a password manager. 

 #3 Enable Multi-Factor Authentication: Turn on multi-factor authentication for your online accounts, including email and financial institutions. This adds an extra layer of security beyond just a password.
