T-Mobile will pay $350 million to settle lawsuits over massive data breach
for the breach, the carrier said the individual who hacked its network used"specialized" tools and knowledge of its infrastructure in order to gain access to its testing environment. That individual then stole customer data from the network and sold them on hacker forums.
The type of information that the bad actor sold varies per person, but it could include the name, birth date and social security number for each individual. T-Mobile got in touch with people affected by the data leak shortly after it came to light and offered them two free years of access to McAfee’s ID Theft Protection Service. Now, they're also getting monetary compensation, though it will likely be a few dollars at most.
