T-Mobile’s utter incompetence combined with this miniscule monetary fine just shatters my mind.
I’m sure T-Mobile has legitimately ruined lives because of these breaches. The CISO, CIO, and any other member of the C-suite that had a hand in this happening (read: probably all of them) should be held personally responsible.
My social security number is 100% floating around somewhere on the internet because of T-Mobile. My credit is frozen, though, so I haven’t had my identity stolen, highly recommended you do this yourself ASAP: https://www.usa.gov/credit-freeze

Sadly, this will just get passed on to their customers.

I’m really not enjoying the fact that to live in modern society we have to entrust others with our personal information, which they then sell for a profit or simply do fuck all to protect.

As frustrating as this is. Unless people stop bitching on it on social media and go do something about it like writing to your state senator or council people, none of this means anything. If you’re serious about these data breaches or whatever, buy a prepaid phone, pay your bill with cash or go off the grid or something.

Where will the 31.5million dollars go to? I am sure I won’t see any of it and will have to spends thousands to protect my data. How about we start a class action suite making TMobile pay for identity theft.

woooow 31 million. fuckin FCC needs to tie it to a percentage of thier company value or something. I beleive its called means tested.
Like how finland does speeding tickets – make the fine hurt the same if you have $200 to your name or $2million. (i think they issued the worlds highest speeding ticket at like $164k usd)

The CEO comp for 2023 is more than this fine. About 6 million more.
