T-Mobile recently experienced a data breach in which some of its customers exposed their information, including ‘call-related information’, to hackers.
In a notice on its website, the telecommunications giant said a security incident had occurred in which incorrect access to “customer-owned network information” (CPNI) was gained. Some of the CPNIs may include “telephone number, number of lines on which your account is subscribed, and in some cases, call-related information collected as part of the normal operation of your wireless service,” T-Mobile said.
The company added that the breach, which allegedly affected about 200,000 customers, did not include financial information such as account names, credit card information, social security numbers, tax IDs, passwords or PINs.
