More than 37 million T-Mobile customers were hacked

T-Mobile said the personal information of 37 million current customers was accessed in a data breach in November.

In a Thursday regulatory filing, the company said the hacker stole customer data that included names, billing addresses, emails, phone numbers, dates of birth, T-Mobile account numbers and information that describes the type of service they have with their wireless carrier.

She said no social security numbers, credit card information, government identification numbers, passwords, PINs or financial information were exposed in the hack.

However, this information can be compiled with other publicly available or stolen information and used by scammers to steal people’s identities or money.

T-Mobile said it is working with law enforcement and has begun notifying customers whose information may have been breached.

The wireless carrier did not indicate what it could do to remedy the situation.

He noted that it could be on the hook for “significant expenses” because of the hack, although the company said it doesn’t expect the charges to have a material effect on T-Mobile’s results.

After T-Mobile (TMUS) learned of the data breach, the company said it hired an external cybersecurity team to investigate.

T-Mobile (TMUS) was able to discover the source of the breach and stop it a day after the hack was discovered.

The company says it continues to investigate the breach but believes it is “fully contained”. He also noted that T-Mobile’s (TMUS) systems and network do not appear to have been hacked.

“Protecting our customers’ data remains a top priority,” T-Mobile said in a statement. “We will continue to make substantial investments to strengthen our cybersecurity program.”
