"The breach, disclosed by the companies Thursday, covered about 15 million people. It included information on T-Mobile subscribers, former customers as well as consumers that applied for service or device financing at the wireless carrier in roughly the last two years.

The exposed data included names, addresses and birth dates as well as encrypted Social Security numbers, driver’s license or passport numbers. The companies said credit card or banking information wasn’t compromised."

governments/regulators need to start hitting these firms with massive fines, it's the only language they understand. €-£-$100 per customer data compromised each and every time

Yep, I agree, the company that is responsible for maintaining records of your credit (and that can prevent you from having a decent life) was breached because of negligence.

...but it was just your entire SSN, address, phone number, email address and full name compromised (and these details that were actually taken vary from site to site) - no worries, they'll offer you credit monitoring for free (on their service).

When will people be outraged and hold these companies accountable? I guess never since they are in bed with the government and our so called elected politicians.
