The hack started on November 25, 2022, and wasn’t discovered by T-Mobile until January 5, TechCrunch said. In January, T-Mobile said “bad actors” abused its application programming in a way that allowed them to access the data of 37 million customers. It’s the ninth since 2018, based on reporting by TechCrunch. The incident is the second hack to hit T-Mobile this year. Account PINs, which customers use to swap out SIM cards and authorize other important changes to their accounts, were reset once T-Mobile discovered the breach on March 27.

“The information obtained for each customer varied but may have included full name, contact information, account number and associated phone numbers, T-Mobile account PIN, social security number, government ID, date of birth, balance due, internal codes that T-Mobile uses to service customer accounts (for example, rate plan and feature codes), and the number of lines,” the company wrote in a letter sent to affected customers.
The intrusion, which started on February 24 and lasted until March 30, affected 836 customers, according to a notification on the website of Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey. T-Mobile on Monday said it experienced a hack that exposed account PINs and other customer data in the company's second network intrusion this year and the ninth since 2018.
