Hackers stole nearly 48 million customer records from T-Mobile a few days ago, with the carrier confirming the findings earlier this week. T-Mobile said at the time that the hackers did not steal payment information. But sensitive data, including full names, dates of birth, social security numbers, and driver’s license information was stolen. Hackers also accessed customer names, phone numbers, and PINs for some prepaid accounts. T-Mobile said the investigation is ongoing, but the company will offer customers two years of free identity theft protection. It turns out T-Mobile might not be alone. A hacker claims to have obtained personal data for 70 million accounts in a massive AT&T hack, including information that can expose them to identity theft down the road. Now, AT&T has issued a strange denial to news of the hack.
