T-Mobile US is investigating a claim on an online forum post which says the personal data of over 100 million users was breached, the company told Reuters. The company said it did not have more information to share at this time.
Vice first reported the claims of a data breach. A hacker told the publication that they had obtained data of over 100 million people and that the data came from T-Mobile servers. The data included information such as social security numbers, phone numbers, names, physical addresses and driver licenses information, the report added.
In the online forum, the hacker is asking for 6 bitcoin for a subset of the data containing 30 million social security numbers and driver licences, with the rest of the data being sold privately.
