T-Mobile, which experienced three huge data breaches in the past three years, agreed to pay $31.5 million in penalties and remediation for failing to protect millions of its customers’ personal information.
As part of a settlement between T-Mobile and the Federal Communications Commission, the telecommunications giant agreed to pay a $15.75 million fine and to invest $15.75 million in cybersecurity improvements.
The personal information of approximately 37 million T-Mobile customers was compromised in a January 2023 data breach, and that the company experienced other large data breaches in 2022 and 2021, in which 76 million customer accounts were compromised. Although not part of the FCC settlement announced Monday, T-Mobile had experienced several other smaller data breaches dating back to 2018.
