The 2021 Breach and Settlement
T-Mobile disclosed in August 2021 that hackers accessed personal data for 76 million US customers including SSNs, birth dates, addresses, and driver's license numbers. T-Mobile settled the resulting class action in 2022 for $350 million. The settlement also required $150 million in cybersecurity investments. The claim period has closed.
2022-2023 Breaches
Despite the required cybersecurity investment, T-Mobile suffered a breach in January 2023 affecting approximately 37 million customers, and additional incidents in 2022. New class actions allege T-Mobile failed to implement the required improvements and that the pattern of repeated breaches reflects systemic security failures.
