This is exactly what the scam/phish emails I get say. My PayPal was hacked. My Amazon was hacked. On and on... some of my things that "were hacked" are places I never even had an account with. Did you say "overnight email?" Uh... ???? I seriously wouldn't touch that link, Hawky.
EDITING to say: Okay, seems as if there really was an ATT breach, but I still wouldn't click an email link... I'd contact them directly from their website. Seems as if the data was released on the dark web. :(

There was an AT&T data breach. Here's the article in Alabama news today ...
AT&T data breach: What AT&T is offering data breach victims

Not to say scammers aren't using the event as an opportunity to exploit ... just that YES, there was a data breach that is said to affect 7.6 million current customers and 65.4 million former customers.

Rather than respond directly to an email unless I was 100% sure it was from AT&T, I'd look to their official website for advice and instruction.
 
Co-incidently maybe, but strange, my 2013 excel program
on the desktop computer and the 2013 word program are
refusing to open !?!?! i just used them yesterday...!!!!
 
I received a letter in the mail AND an email about changing my passcode. I didn't click on the email link but went to the MyAT&T web site that I have used before with a bookmark and logged in there. I couldn't get past the point where they were asking for the last 4 digits of my SS number and my mailing zip code. It was telling me my information was incorrect. I gave them the correct information so I don't know what they have. I just canceled and logged out. If it's going to be that difficult to change, I will just forget about it.
