BLACKCLOAK - T-Mobile Discloses Data Breach

View in browser

Hi BlackCloak Client,

The personal information belonging to 37 million current T-Mobile prepaid and postpaid customer accounts was stolen by malicious actors.

T-Mobile said the compromised information included customers "names, billing addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, T-Mobile account numbers and information such as the number of lines on the accounts and plan features."

Passwords, Social Security numbers, payment card information and other financial data was not exposed in the incident.

What To Do If You're T-Mobile Customer?

Even if you do not receive a data breach notification letter from T-Mobile, be on the lookout for phishing emails, as well as phishing attacks that target your phone number, including "smishing" and "vishing" scams.
Cybercriminals may try the tactics above to social engineer more information from you in order to conduct identity theft. Placing a fraud alert or freezes with the major credit reporting agencies is recommended to proactively defend against identify theft. Additionally, having a credit monitoring solution place will help you detect potential fraudulent activity so you can take action. If your membership with BlackCloak includes credit monitoring and you've not taken advantage of this offering yet, schedule your session today with our Concierge team!
Be sure to enhance the security of your T-Mobile account. You can learn how to do so through our Wireless Carrier Security client guide.

If you have any additional questions, email us at ask@BlackCloak.io or schedule a Concierge Session via the BlackCloak app Support tab.

Here for you,

The BLACKCLOAK Team
