Experian hack exposes 15 million people's personal information
http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/oct/01/experian-hack-t-mobile-credit-checks-personal-information
The company said its consumer credit database was not
affected and that "no other clients' data was accessed",
presumably meaning the damage is limited to T-Mobile. Experian
did not name the perpetrator but in a statement the company said
it had contacted law enforcement. The hack specifically affects
"those who applied for T-Mobile USA postpaid services or device
financing from September 1, 2013 through September 16, 2015",
according to Experian.
