Security News > 2020 > March > T-Mobile Notifying Customers of Data Breach

Wireless carrier T-Mobile is sending notifications to its customers to inform them of a data breach that resulted in some of their personal information being compromised.

Because some of these accounts contained account information for T-Mobile customers and employees, the attack essentially resulted in that data being accessed by a third-party.

According to the wireless carrier, no financial information or Social Security numbers were affected by this data breach.

Some of the affected individuals, the carrier says, might not receive a notification, either because of outdated contact information or because that person is no longer a T-Mobile customer.

T-Mobile says the attack was identified and shut down by its cyber-security team recently, but does not provide a specific timeframe for when that happened, nor does it reveal details on how many of its customers might have been impacted.
