The
data includes address, date of birth and phone numbers of
customers, the company said, adding that it had no indication
that the accessed data contained financial information such as
credit card or other payment data.
"Our investigation is ongoing and will continue for some time,
but at this point, we are confident that we have closed off the
access," the company said in a regulatory filing. (https://bit.ly/3mfgPc9)
The third-largest U.S. wireless carrier said earlier this week
that personal data of more than 40 million former and
prospective customers was stolen along with data from 7.8
million existing T-Mobile wireless customers.
However, T-Mobile on Friday revealed it had identified 667,000
more accounts of former customers, whose names, phone numbers,
addresses and dates of birth were accessed by hackers.
T-Mobile also said that the breached data of the additional 5.3
million postpaid users did not include any data on social
security numbers or driver's license.
The company's update comes after the U.S. Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) said on Wednesday it would investigate the data
breach.
The company reiterated that it has no indication that the data
contained customer financial information, credit card
information, debit or other payment information.
