Europe’s leading telecommunications company, Deutsche Telekom, has admitted that it has lost confidential data belonging to 17 million T-mobile clients. The theft, in 2006, which is now subject to a judicial inquiry, involved telephone numbers, dates of birth, addresses and email addresses, subsidiary T-Mobile said in a statement.
Spokesman Frank Domagala said that bank details were not attached, and that “according to our information, even though these details have been put up for sale on the black market, there has not been a buyer.”
Domagala added that data security procedures have been reinforced since 2006.
Whoop-de-doo!
According to news weekly Der Spiegel, copies of the information continue to circulate.
If this isn’t something that had to be reported to T-mobile clients – why not?
This is why you should ALWAYS steal someone else’s identity and use that whenever signing up for any new services.
How about a link that actually contains some pertinent information? The one supplied is useless.
sO,
SOMEONE stole 50-90% of ALL of there data??
HOW?
