The same data for about 7.
8 million current T-Mobile customers who pay monthly for telephone company also appears to be compromised.
No phone numbers, account numbers, PINs, passwords or financial information from the nearly 50 million records and accounts were compromised, it said.
T-Mobile has been hit before by data theft but within the most up-to-date case, the sheer numbers far exceed the previous breaches, said Gartner analyst Paul Furtado.
T-Mobile, which is predicated in Bellevue, Washington, became one among the countrys largest cellphone service carriers, along side AT&T and Verizon, after buying rival Sprint last year.
It reported having a complete of 102.
1 million U.
S.
customers after the merger.
Yes, they need an enormous target on their back but that shouldnt be a surprise to them, Furtado said.
You need to start questioning the organization.
what proportion are they really addressing these breaches and therefore the level of seriousness?
