Consumer Alert: T-Mobile Data Breach Information Found for Sale on Dark Web

(BOISE) - Attorney General Lawrence Wasden urges all Idaho residents who believe they were impacted by the data breach announced by T-Mobile in August 2021 to take appropriate steps to protect their information from identity theft.

The alert follows the discovery of a large subset of the breached information for sale on the dark web - a hidden portion of the internet where cyber criminals buy, sell, and track personal information. Many individuals have since received alerts through various identity theft protection services informing them that their information was found online in connection with the breach, confirming that impacted individuals are at heightened risk for identity theft.
