A massive data breach at Experian, one of the country's major credit rating bureaus that companies use to conduct credit checks, has exposed the personal information of as many as 15 million T-Mobile consumers, according to the mobile carrier.
"Obviously I am incredibly angry about this data breach and we will institute a thorough review of our relationship with Experian, but right now my top concern and first focus is assisting any and all consumers affected. I take our customer and prospective customer privacy VERY seriously," T-Mobile CEO John Legere said in a statement. "This is no small issue for us. I do want to assure our customers that neither T-Mobile’s systems nor network were part of this intrusion and this did not involve any payment card numbers or bank account information."
While Experian handles the personal information of many Americans, the bureau said the hack, which was discovered on Sept. 15, is only limited to people who applied for T-Mobile services. Here's what you need to know.
