And this is why consumers will continue to see their information compromised by companies who collect and retain more data than they need and then fail to invest the time and resources to protect it.
These records should have been deleted at the latest at the point where they're no longer relevant for billing. (Which also means that for customers with unlimited calling/texting, there shouldn't be any records in the first place.)
I'm an AT&T customer, and in my case I don't have a risk, but I can imagine this info could be very handy for divorce, custody, and corporate IP lawsuits. So worse than it might look to ordinary folks.

As a nobody, I keep wanting a financial product that is a black hole. Money can go in, but cannot come out without significant pain. Seven+ day waiting period, in person visit, physical mail verification, something, anything that means if I do get hacked my accounts are not drained in milliseconds. When I need a legitimate large withdrawal, I can go through the required effort.

Well, they're not free if you want them to be unbiased. Given, what's going to keep them from getting scammed? Maybe what you're looking for is several safe deposit boxes.
