Caught this quickie news at Channel News Asia; T-Mobile (aka. Deutsche Telekom), Europe's leading telecommunications company admits losing data for 17 million of its customers!More surprisingly, the theft began at 2006 and the leaking data include: telephone numbers, dates of birth, addresses & email addresses. Thankfully, bank details were not attached.
According to news weekly Der Spiegel, copies of the information continue to circulate. But spokesman Frank Domagala said 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."
The T-Mobile company has been working together with German detectives for weeks now, to handle the situation. But until then, or probably it's already too late, the digital lives of around 17 million T-Mobile customers are in danger. Are you one of them?
