Security breach wifi id theft unfair charges
Reembursement and or return to unaffected payment amount is requested due to unauthorized user, who through my at&t wifi account, was able to also attain my banking and other private accunts. Due to this breach in security through this at&t internet account, my autopay for my home wifi was declined for insufficient funds, I have been battling many unauthorized charges, all due to this hacker, who is as we are typing this, still connected to my wifi with what I can tell is a VPN through Nord. It shows Android_432c is connected which an attempt to charge my debit card for $65 oddly appeared amongst others. Coincidence? I'm going to say no. The real cherry on this camel humping, is I paid $100 of the 149 and paid the past due leaving 5his months payment not due for overa week, yet the sparkling jewel in my tiara is my account is still suspended, making it impossible to kick these unfraudcrime devices off MY WIFI! !!!!!. JUSTICE?? NO FOR THE LOYAL AT&T CUSTOMER. I COUKDNT 3VEN GET THE F4AUD DEPARTMENT TO REPORT THIS (Edited per community guidelines) WHO I KNOW HIS NAME AND HAVE EVIDENCE TO PROVE IT, IM RANTING IN A Q&A FORUM BECAUSE I COUKDNT GET IN TO SEE CONNECTED DEVICES. TELL ME HIW ITS EASIER FOR HACKERS TO DESTROY ME AND I CANT GET INTO MY OWN "SMART APP" MANAGER. AM I IN (Edited per community guidelines). DID I DIE AND DIDNT KNOW IT AND IT TURNS OUT IF YOUR BEHIND ON A ATT BILL YOU HAVE TO SPEND A LIL TIME IN DOUBLE HOCKEY STICK IT TO ME?

Hi there, @saraemcnew. We understand the importance of having a secure Wi-Fi network and completely understand how upsetting it must be for someone to invade your network and privacy.
Your Wi-Fi network may extend more than 300 feet from your Wi-Fi gateway. This means that people outside your home may be able to access your Wi-Fi network. If they do, they could:
To see which devices are connected to your network, sign in to Smart Home Manager. Go to Network, then Connected devices to see what’s connected to your network.
Here are just a few steps that you can take to keep your network secure:

@saraemcnew If you suspect you are a victim of identity theft then:
1. File a police report
2. Contact AT&T Fraud (difficult I know)
3. Notify your credit card agencies (they will probably issue new cards) and bank
4. Dispute any charges that you don't recognize
5. Start monitoring your accounts every couple of days to catch any unauthorized charges
6. Change all of your passwords for your important accounts as well as your gateway and other devices
If you can't make the payment you are required to make, then you need to contact Billing prior to the due date and see if you can work out a new payment schedule. You can't just choose to pay what you want, that's not what you agreed to do. If your account gets suspended for non-payment, then you need to pay off in full what you owe before service will be restored. That's in your TOS that you should have read but agreed to when you signed up for service.
All you can do is protect yourself from further financial damage by following the steps above and let your fraud claim go thru it's process.
