According to Experian, T-Mobile customer data logged between Sept. 1, 2013 through Sept. 16, 2015 was taken in the security breach. The attackers came away with names, dates of birth, addresses and forms of identification like Social Security numbers and drivers’ license numbers, as well as other information required by T-Mobile’s internal credit assessment system.
Experian said the breach did not expose payment or banking information, nor did it affect the firm’s consumer credit database.
“We take privacy very seriously and we understand that this news is both stressful and frustrating. We sincerely apologize for the concern and stress that this event may cause,” said Craig Boundy, CEO of Experian North America.
