Even if it is a genuine site that could still be them using it and them have injected script that take you to their scam site that also looks exactly like the right one.
So these guys are very clever.
I also are very skeptical to that ATT send out such.
Do google search on the text and the url to see if others also has had these warnings.

Below is a copy of an email I received from "AT&T Internet Services Security Center" . I was not able to find any posting regarding this and so I called AT&T's internet tech support at 1-877-722-3755 to verify that this is in fact bogus email. Tech support said that: 1) AT&T will never link to third party websites - AT&T links to within their own website; 2) "From" email address is not legit!. I hope this info makes it easier on the next person who tries seaching this subject.....here is the email in it's entirety:
see above for complete email
thanks for suggestion
