AT and T has published its first transparency report, detailing the number of customer data requests it received from local, state, and federal law enforcement in 2013.

According to the Verge, the report revealed that a total of 301,816 requests were made for phone records and subscriber information, split between subpoenas, court orders, and search warrants.

However, the company said it cannot legally give the number of national security requests it received from the NSA.

AT and T, along with Verizon, has come under fire for complying with the NSA in the ongoing bulk surveillance scandal, the report added.
