T-Mobile says it is probing a leak of
its data after someone took to an online forum offering to sell the personal
information of cellphone users.
The company said Monday it has
confirmed there was unauthorized access to “some T-Mobile data” but
was still determining the scope of the breach and who was affected.
It also said it was confident it has
closed the entry point used to gain access.
Vice’s Motherboard reported Sunday someone was offering to sell
personal data from more than 100 million people.
T-Mobile hasn’t said how many customers were affected.
AP wire services helped contribute to
this report.
