The company is not yet clear as to when the data was accessed from its servers. However, we have also previously heard the reports that T-Mobile has already been targeted previously and has reported several data breaches in the last few years, most recently in December 2020.

During the incident of December 2020, the company reported that call-related information and phone numbers for some of its customers were exposed to danger, however, it reported that at the time it did not include more sensitive info such as names or Social Security numbers.

Dialling two years back to its 2018 breach. During that time, hackers accessed personal information for roughly 2 million T-Mobile customers that included names, addresses, and account numbers. As well as in 2019, hackers managed to yet again breach and access information of some of T-Mobile’s prepaid customers and gained information on their names, addresses, and account numbers.
