You mean stating that it was stolen when it was them who continue giving it away to the government and private parties?
Is this another breach? They already told me quite a while ago my info was part of the breach. So is this a new one? >

According to the article, this is the 5th customer data breach in 5 years >

Omg and I bet my info has been part of it every time. I have been in so many data breaches its ridiculous. Thank God nothing has happened so far. >

There needs to be consequences for this shit... "Oops, sorry" is getting tiresome. >

They don't even say that. They say "customer security remains our highest priority". Lol >

That explains 5 breaches in 5 years. >

What is the response when these companies get hacked. "Oh, we're sorry". Don't your customers pay you some nice cash? Use a little of it for some proper IT security FFS. Part of the package when I do business with you is to make sure my personal data doesn't get into the hands of some criminal that wants to fuck me over. Do your frickin' job. >

Nonononono you don’t understand.  The cash is for their megayachts and coke-orgies… not for improving the quality of their service.  Easy mistake to make. >

^It's ^in ^the ^fine ^print >

Want them to take your data seriously?
Data breach fine: $500 per customer data lost. ($18.5B)
Double that to $1000 per customer if the dark web exposes it before they notice.
Use the proceeds to fund a national financial fraud task force to investigate and prosecute anyone trying to exploit the data breach. >

Double it and pass it on $2000. >

Can't wait for a 1.69 in store credit I can only use on a galaxy note 7 in 5 years. >

At a minimum every customer should receive a year free service or a refund of a years service and release from any contract to leave for another company with zero penalties. Even if you owe money on equipment. Everything should be zeroed out. Company should eat all of those costs. Maybe then these companies will take data breaches seriously. >

37 million customers data stolen, yet quoted as saying "no evidence the intruder was able to breach the company’s network"?  Well what the fuck? >

That explains the scam phonecalls ive been getting all of a sudden. 🤬 >

What really pisses me off is that I haven't been a t-mobile customer for over 10 years and my data was still stolen. Now I have to keep my credit bureau accounts frozen. >

I just had a PayPal invoice and a login attempt on my Amazon account in the past 2-days… >

Pfffft T Mobile... easy... Not impressed. Bet these " hackers" can't even erase student debt right gang? >

When student loan or credit card data gets deleted data security will finally be taken seriously so they can figure out how much we all owe. >

I agree about punishment, but won’t it incentivize companies to hide the breaches? Maybe need independent auditors to review this stuff somehow? >

Pretty sure companies already have plenty amounts of incentive to hide breaches. What you're asking for is better regulation, and ain't no fortune 500 company asking for that. >

Free credit minoring on top of the free credit monitoring you got for the last 30 days breaches. >

All these guys are making crazy money selling our info, calling it stolen, and paying pennies in fines. Why lie about it? It's not like we can do anything to actually stop them. >

This is essentially how it works in the American medicine system. I wonder if there are less data breaches because of the fines in medicine versus general corporations. >

Does health insurance count? Because Blue Shield had a big data breach a little over 5 years ago and I never saw them face any consequences. >

They had consequences. They had to say "oopsies.". >

This means that it was an inside job of sorts. >

I keep thinking with all of these breaches, that a good proportion of them are inside-jobs. Whether it's a form of corporate sabotage, disgruntled employee, etc. Who knows? >

Now tell me to change my password to something with 15 characters, 2 punctuation, 2 capital letters and 2 symbols that is in no way related to any previous 200 iterations of my password. >

Same lmao, I have been getting them from all around the world all of a sudden. >

I had to freeze my credit and almost got $2,000 stolen (if not for my bank blocking the transaction) because of TMobile. Not only did they have a data breach but they let a scammer move my number to a different simm. So they had all my info and could now call from my number so you can guess what happened. Heads up to anyone that reads this, call your bank and put a verbal password on your account so anyone calling as you would need that to make changes. >

BTW. Deadline for class action lawsuit is this week. You get grand total of $25. 100 if youre in CA. Option to file separately has already expired. >

Don't worry, I'm sure no one will be punished for it and nothing will change at TMobile >

good news is our info is already stolen from last time >

Isn't T Mobile the one that stored passwords in plaintext and then had an idiot PR person say "it's fine because our systems are secure!" >

What really pisses me off is that I haven't been a t-mobile customer for over 10 years and my data was still stolen. Now I have to keep my credit bureau accounts frozen.
Also someone asked how I knew it was from t-mobile. Well when my data got stolen during an earlier breach t-mobile sent me a letter. When I signed up to a monitoring alert system an alert came back and it stated the data taken address, ssn, dob came from a t-mobile breach.
*edit added extra info. >

They should always be frozen when not applying for credit >

Yes this is the way. >

I saw the last breach I was in they had a class action suit. I did not sign up on it though they did send me a text about it. When I got on to see how much people were getting its only 25.00 for suing t mobile. If you spent money to secure your identity you could get 2,500.00. Its ridiculous thats all you get for having your info stolen. Not sure I'm in this data breach as they haven't sent me info like last time. >

This is absolute shit.  That said, we're fooling ourselves thinking our data isn't sold in parts and repackaged over and over.  Probably with the same primary key >

The Un-carrier of your data apparently. >

Keep those sim pins safe >

Next you'll be telling me Orange are still a thing >

Hey hey hey...I'm sure everyone will get a dollar or two off their bill... >

Probably because of SOC2. They claim it is more "secure" by introducing a few dozen third parties that all have a few dozen third parties that all have sketchy Dependency Hell going on and "solutions" that monitor all the way into data/cloud/infrastructure. So many potential holes. It is how the SolarWinds hack went so far. There is far too much trust in allowing in all these third parties in the name of "security" and "compliance".
T-Mobile doesn't even know how they got it, because of bureaucratic layers of verbose Vogon dependency third party gunk that infects software development today due to horrid project management, McKinsey Consultcult Agile and in general funding driven engineering, the creatives/developers have no power to stop bad ideas. >

Please advise- what steps do you suggest we take to secure ourselves- I read about having verbal password added with bank, and freezing your credit reports- anything else we can do? >

Late November???? Thanks for the heads up Tmo. >

“Yay!! 3 more free years of credit monitoring” said no one ever >

Seems like an annual cycle. Your info gets stolen, (insert company name) provides a year of monitoring. In order to do so, you must enter more personal info. >

I'm so glad I left TMobile. This is fucking bullshit >

Why the hell does a phone company even have a database of dates of birth? Your name, address, email or phone number, and payment method is ALL they should be asking for more is simply 'I want to sell your information'. >

They run your credit.. >

Whoa I was just looking at switching from ATT… >

Because this shit isn't properly and severely punished, it becomes just another routine business expense and is probably factored in before it even happens. >

Unfortunately I'm a customer of this shitty company. What can I do to make sure my data is secure? >

"We don't share your data with anyone."
