Hackers stole data subscribers T-Mobile operator

Hackers gained access to information about 15 by millions of people gathered by T-Mobile, one of the leading telecom operators in the United States based in Germany.

Official representatives of the American company Experian, which collaborates with T-Mobile, told reporters about this on Thursday, in whose systems cybercriminals found a “loophole.”

Experian commissioned T-Mobile to assess the credit history and financial situation of individuals who in the US want to enter into an agreement with an operator. Its representatives said that the company immediately notified the law enforcement agencies when it learned about cyber attacks on its systems, the news agency writes TASS.

Hackers have stolen customer names, addresses, social security numbers, birthdays, driver's license numbers, military tickets or passport numbers. Having this information makes it easier for hackers to gain access to people's bank accounts.

It is unclear what the criminals will do with the stolen data of T-Mobile customers. This type of information is often sold on the black market, writes CNN.

Experian notes that there is no evidence yet that “the stolen information was used inappropriately.”

This is not the first mass data theft.
