Re: Tmobile had a data breach in August 2021 and now my SSN has been found on the dark web
I received a text message last week from T-Mobile instructing me to change my autopay from a credit card to either a bank account or debit card. That change in payment method increases my risk should another data breach occur. I understand T-Mobile asserts that it has fixed its cybersecurity deficiencies and that the past breaches did not compromise customers' payment methods. But can I trust a company that is a two-time loser in the cybersecurity game? At what point does T-Mobile take accountability for its demonstrated incompetence at protecting my personal data? How could T-Mobile summons the nerve to ask me for more personal data that has even a greater risk to me when T-Mobile has a track record of cybersecurity failures? I'm sorry if this sounds paranoid, but I'm insulted that T-Mobile has threatened to increase my monthly bill by $5 per line (total of $30 per month, $360 per year since I have 6 lines) if I don't provide them additional banking information that is even riskier than the current credit card information I've already provided. I suspect I'm on T-Mobile's list of disposable customers since my account is over eight years old and may not be as profitable as newer customers. Has anyone in this community had luck getting T-Mobile to understand that trust must be earned once it's lost? Any recommendations on how I can bettermanage my relationship with T-Mobile? Changing carriers isn't trivial, so I'd prefer to work this out. Curious if any of you have found a successful way forward?32Visto1like0ComentariosRe: Data Breach
