T-Mobile says its customer records have been pillaged yet again. In a filing with the SEC, T-Mobile said it learned on Jan 5 that a "bad actor" abused an API to harvest names, billing addresses, phone numbers emails, dates of birth and T-Mobile account numbers on 37 million current postpaid and prepaid customers.
Perfect timing, too. There are only a few more days left for T-Mobile customers to claim their $25 or possibly more for T-Mobile's settlement from the breach last August, when they exposed similar data on at least 40 million current and former customers.
And to think this data was exposed despite T-Mobile saying as part of its settlement from last year's breach that they were going to invest $150 million into their own security infrastructure.
