Everybody Has A Price — AT&T Learned Their Employees

AT&T employees took bribes to unlock millions of smartphones and to install malware and unauthorized hardware on the company’s network, the Department of Justice said yesterday.

These details come from a DOJ case opened against Muhammad Fahd, a 34-year-old man from Pakistan, and his co-conspirator, Ghulam Jiwani, believed to be deceased. The DOJ charged the two with paying more than $1 million in bribes to several AT&T employees at the company’s Mobility Customer Care call center in Bothell, Washington.
