T-Mobile experienced a data breach on August 20th

Posted on August 24, 2018 by Dissent

Update:  About 2 million customers are reportedly affected.

Alex Wagner reports:

T-Mobile today confirmed that it was affected by a security breach.

T-Mobile says that on August 20th, it discovered a security breach that affected the accounts of some customers. The malicious party did not get access to any financial data, social security numbers, or passwords. Some personal customer data may have been exposed, though, including name, billing zip code, phone number, email address, account number, and account type.

Customers whose account was affected by this breach will receive an alert that’ll direct them to this web page. For more information, you can contact customer care by dialing 611, using messaging on MyT-Mobile.com or the T-Mobile app, or use iMessage with Apple Business Chat. T-Mobile for Business and MetroPCS customers can call 611 from their phones.
