According to an FBI spokesperson “the FBI opened the investigation today but it will not comment on what it is looking at” just yet:

The FBI is aware of these possible computer intrusions and has opened an investigation. It’s very early in the investigation.

The intrusions were possible due to a little feature that was supposed to make AT&T customers’ lives easier and do not appear to be cause for panic at this time. [WSJ]
