T-Mobile is looking into a hack of 100 million customers’ data. Here’s what to do if you think that your data was leaked

T-Mobile data breach: Take these steps to protect your credit and your bank accounts in case your personal information was leaked.

T-Mobile is looking to claims of a potential hack of personal data from more than 100 million of its customers.

That’s because there have been quite a few big data breaches over the last several years, including credit-reporting firm Equifax’s EFX, +0.23% shocking breach that exposed the data of 143 million Americans in 2017. So assuming that your data has been leaked already is a good idea. “The big benefit is, if lenders can’t see your report, they’re not going to issue credit [and] it’s going to keep the bad guys out,” he added.

But most of the battle, Rossman said, is doing the big stuff, like checking your credit report and bank statements regularly. Typically, you can get a free copy of your report from each of the three credit bureaus once every 12 months. But during the pandemic, you can access a copy of your credit report for free every week at annualcreditreport.com.
