T-Mobile Data Breach Facts & History

On August 15, 2021, a hacker was found selling 30 million Social Security numbers on the dark web, requesting six bitcoins, whose cash equivalent was approximately $277,000 at the time, for a collection of data including this information and also numbers of driver's licenses, names, and phone numbers. Three days later, after a thorough data breach investigation, T-Mobile discovered that the personal information of roughly 7.8 million current postpaid customers was part of the recently hacked tranche of data.

However, the number of T-Mobile users affected by the cyberattack is actually 76 million. The following is only some of the customers' personal information a third party may now have access to as a consequence of the company's negligence:

• their full name
• their phone number
• their date of birth
• their identification card information
• their driver's license number
• their Social Security number

The data breach is one of at least four to hit the wireless carrier since 2015. T-Mobile violated the California Consumer Privacy Act by failing to protect the sensitive information of customers and by holding onto it for too long than was necessary. For this reason, two class-action lawsuits were filed one day after the incident had come to light in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. Today, everyone affected might be entitled to financial compensation from the $350 million settlement T-Mobile agreed to.

T-MOBILE DATA BREACH LITIGATION

History:

2022:

• July:
  

  T-Mobile agreed to pay $350 million to settle the customers' claims and $150 to upgrade its data protection system. Over 76 million T-Mobile customers are eligible for up to $100 after the massive data breach that exposed their personal information. If the $350 million deal receives final approval at the January 2023 hearing, it will be the second-largest data breach payout in U.S. history after Equifax's $700 million settlement in 2019. "As we continue to invest time, energy and resources in addressing this challenge, we are pleased to have resolved this consumer class-action filing," T-Mobile said in a statement on its website.

2021:

• August:
  

  Veera Daruwalla, a California resident, filed a class action lawsuit against T-Mobile, alleging that she had spent several hours addressing privacy concerns stemming from the data breach, such as reviewing financial and credit statements for evidence of unauthorized activity. T-Mobile violated the California Consumer Privacy Act by failing to prevent consumers' personal information "from unauthorized access and exfiltration, theft, or disclosure as a result of Defendant's violations of its duty to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information," wrote the attorney representing Daruwalla (Daruwalla v. T-Mobile USA Inc., W.D. Wash., No. 2:21-cv-1118, complaint 8/19/21).

• Stephanie Espanoza, another California resident, also filed a class action lawsuit against T-Mobile, accusing the company of violating the Washington State Consumer Protection Act by committing unfair acts such as offering poor data security. The lawsuit was filed on the same day as the first one, and plaintiffs Jonathan Morales and Alex Pygin were also part of it (Espanoza v. T-Mobile USA Inc., W.D. Wash., No. 2:21-cv-1119, complaint 8/19/21).
