T-Mobile Hack: Security Team Shut Down 'Unauthorized Capture of Some Information'

Did your T-Mobile account information get hacked?

Maybe.

The company says it is notifying affected customers after an international hacking group of some sort hacked their way into the company's network. A snippet from the T-Mobile breach notification letter says this:

"On August 20, our cyber-security team discovered and shut down an unauthorized access to certain information, including yours, and we promptly reported it to authorities."

T-Mobile told Motherboard that about 2.3 million customers had some information stolen.

Information that the T-Mobile hackers captured included the following:

• Name
• Billing ZIP code
• Phone number
• Email address
• Account number
• Account type (prepaid or postpaid)

The company says Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, and passwords were not taken.

The company says you should dial 611 on your T-Mobile wireless phone if you have questions about this latest breach.
