in brief<\/span> We’d say you’ll never guess which telco admitted to a security breakdown last week, but you totally will: T-Mobile US, and for the second time (so far) this year.<\/p>\n

For those counting, this also makes the seventh incident in five years<\/a> at the cellular provider \u2013 though this one is small compared to the 37 million subscribers whose data leaked in January. Only 836 customers<\/a> were caught up in this one. <\/p>\n

In a form letter<\/a> shared by Infosecurity<\/em>, T-Mobile said it detected unauthorized activity in its network in March, with illicit access beginning in late February. T-Mobile said no financial information or call logs were obtained, but account PINs and plenty of valuable PII was exfiltrated. <\/p>\n
