Companies like AT&T and T-Mobile have skirted liability when workers allegedly stole nude images from customer phones, but that may change after a court…

Another consumer has sued AT&T, alleging that a retail store employee stole nude images off of her phone when she was upgrading her device.

The latest lawsuit against AT&T was filed Monday in California state court. A woman identified as Jane Doe alleged that an employee at a Los Angeles store stole her nude images and distributed them in February after she upgraded her iPhone and he helped her with transferring her data. "That decision sets important precedent and we intend to continue to try to hold phone companies accountable for situations like this where their employees violate customer privacy during phone trade-ins or other transactions at the stores," said Laura Hecht-Felella from C.A. Goldberg, one of the lead attorneys behind both the T-Mobile and the new AT&T case.

"As a society, we trust these cellular providers with all of our most private information," said Goldberg."And really there's no limit to what their employees can steal off of our phones and then share with the world."
