          1. Wait, is it normal for your cellphone provider to have your social security and driver's license? I don't recall giving my provider that? vice.com/amp/en/article/y3d4dw/t-mobile-confirms-it-was-hacked

          And even if they needed maybe one of those things for identity verification... which ok I guess, why would they *retain* that data after identity was verified?

        I'm hearing that this is apparently for customers who lease their phones (I buy the devices outright, which may be why I don't remember doing this), but even so, it still doesn't answer the question of why they retain that data?

      And 30m is waaay too many for transient data that might get held while background checks are completed. Is this just normal at T-Mobile for some reason? Any info on this josephfcox?

    If it really is 100m records with SSNs, that's around 2/3s the size of the Equifax breech and a similar level of exposure which means they're going to owe Americans a lot of money. ftc.gov/enforcement/cases-proceedings/refunds/equifax-data-breach-settlement

      Sorta makes me wonder, just how secure are all those other micro loans that have been pushed on Americans lately?
