There’s an expectation of privacy and security from your mobile provider. That’s why a series of T-Mobile data breaches from 2021 through January of this year caused so much concern. Over 130 million customers were affected, and their addresses, dates of birth, and sometimes even Social Security numbers were exposed in the attacks.

Breaches in three consecutive years lead to $16M fine and new security protocols. T-Mobile has agreed to pay a $15.75 million fine and improve its security in a settlement over a series of data breaches over three years that affected tens of millions of customers.
