personal data of more than 100 million customers.<\/p>\n<p> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en\/article\/akg8wg\/tmobile-investigating-customer-data-breach-100-million\" class=\"icon none\">Vice\u2019s Motherboard first reported the incident<\/a>, in which a hacker on an online forum claimed to be selling private data that includes names, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Social<\/a> Security numbers, addresses, phone numbers and drivers license information. Motherboard was in contact with the seller, and confirmed that the data it saw <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared to belong to T-Mobile customers. The anonymous seller is reportedly seeking 6 bitcoin \u2014 about $270,000 \u2014 for data belonging to about 30 million accounts, with the rest supposedly being sold through private channels.<\/p>\n<div class=\"paywall\">\n       The hacker told Motherboard that T-Mobile had successfully regained control of its servers, but not before the trove of personal data had already been downloaded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are aware of claims made in an underground forum and have been actively investigating their validity,\u201d T-Mobile said in a statement to the media on Sunday. \u201cWe do not have any additional information to share at this time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The data breach, if confirmed, could affect nearly every T-Mobile customer in the U.S.; in its second-quarter earnings report last month, the telecom company reported about 104.79 million U.S. customers, according to FactSet data.<\/p>\n<p>T-Mobile has reported a number of serious data breaches in the past few years, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/t-mobile-discloses-its-fourth-data-breach-in-three-years\/\" class=\"icon none\">most recently in December 2020<\/a>.
