T-Mobile, a wireless provider in the United States, reported earlier this week that an unidentified malicious intruder broke into its network in late November and stole information on 37 million customers, including addresses, phone numbers, and dates of birth.
The breach was found Jan. 5, according to T-Mobile, which disclosed this in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. According to the company’s investigation to date, the stolen data didn’t include passwords or PINs, bank account or credit card information, Social Security numbers, or other official identifications.
The malicious activity “appears to be fully contained at this time, but our investigation is still ongoing,” T-Mobile said, adding that the data was first accessed on or around Nov. 25.
In recent years, the company has experienced numerous hacks. In its filing, T-Mobile stated that it did not anticipate the most recent breach to materially affect its business.
