AT&T, other phone companies sued over stolen nude images could face liability after court ruling

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.

Now, the companies — not just the store workers — could face liability in future litigation, which could lead them to address the hiring, training and data safety practices that victims argue led to the violations, the experts said.The latest lawsuit against AT&T was filed Monday in California state court.

Carrie Goldberg, the firm's founder, added that the"hope really is not to attract more cases" but to encourage the companies to have better safeguards in place. "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."
