T-Mobile recently disclosed the data of over 50 million people through a data breach. This includes customers who have never been customers and those who are not. According to the hacker, a 21-year-old man has already spoken out with Wall Street Journal about the attack. CEO Mike Sievert also spoke out.
This is the fifth incident by T-Mobile in four years
Sievert writes that he's taking a moment now to update us on the breach and the investigation.
These attacks can happen to many companies. However, it is hard to believe that the statement was sincere considering T-Mobile has suffered at least five breaches in 2018 alone. This includes the one in 2020 and one for 2018.
T-Mobile has partnered with Mandiant, a cybersecurity firm, and KPMG consultants to address the problem. This partnership will help to end this insecure streak. Nobody can tell, but it's more than the sorry notes for inconvenience sent after past breaches. All subscribers also received a year of Apple TV Plus at no cost. It's a shame that this happened after a hacker took enough IMEI/IMSI and drivers license data and social security data to steal identities and numbers at will for the next few decades.
