In December T-Mobile suffered a security breach which could have possibly exposed customers’ phone numbers and call-related information. Fortunately, T-Mobile confirmed that only 0.2 per cent of their users were affected and that the information exposed in the breach did not include customers’ names, financial data, credit card information, tax IDs, PINs, addresses or Social Security numbers.

Although only 0.2 per cent of their users were affected, this still means that 200,000 customers have had their account information illegally accesses.  T-Mobile says that the information that was exposed “may have included phone numbers, number of lines subscribed to and in a small number of cases some call-related information collected as part of normal operation and service.” They also said that they “identified this attack in early December and quickly shut down the incident,” with customers notified about the breach via text messages.
