Mobile virtual network operator Mint Mobile has suffered yet another data breach, this time exposing sensitive customer information, the company announced today.
“We are writing to inform you about a security incident we recently identified in which an unauthorized actor obtained some limited types of customer information,” warns the Mint Mobile data breach notification.
“Our investigation indicates that certain information associated with your account was impacted.”
The customer data exposed in the breach includes:
- Name
- Telephone number
- Email address
- SIM serial number and IMEI number (a device identifier similar to a serial number)
- A brief description of service plan purchased
Mint says they do not store credit card numbers, so they were not exposed. The company also said they protect passwords with “strong cryptographic technology,” so they are not compromised.
