Funny how they didn’t contact their customers

[BuddhaWho]

I'm a customer and they have failed to even send an email about this.

[Ben-gwtu]

I’m suppose to believe hackers that are capable of hacking decided not to get ssn and other important indormation

All they want is your name address and signature. Now they can vote for you.
Every major customer data breach is about getting your info so they can put it on a ballet

[strawhatwolffy]

That’s why I tell people don’t do T-mobile. Glad I was right.

[lanareo]

I told them several times that their was someone in the system and they treated me like I was crazy. But who crazy now 🤣🤣

God I am so sick of this. Last time this happened T-Mobile gave me McCafe Identity Theft Protection for two years-big whoop. What am I suppose to do after that? I had to go buy and pay for my own protection from another company. I'll be paying to it for the rest of my life. I also got a canned apology from T-Mobile and zero compensation. I'm ready to switch carriers even if I have to pay more. I thought, after the last massive data breach T-Mobile was going to step up their game, apparently not.

That’s should be a national security threat!

[GarmentofPraiseSewing]

I wonder if outsourcing is hurting this companies🧐

[naghdam]

T-Mobile, helping daily with your social connections by outsourcing your number to India.
