Phishing

A few days ago, news stories appeared about a huge data breach that occurred at T-Mobile. The first reports of last Sunday stated that someone on the dark web was claiming to have the data of 100 million US subscribers/ex-subscribers from T-Mobile servers and was selling a portion of it on an underground forum for 6 bitcoin which is over 220K€. The information that was stolen didn’t only include names, phone numbers and physical addresses but also social security numbers, driver’s license information and IMEI numbers (a unique phone device number you can see as a sort of phone’s social security number).
