According to the lawsuit filed by Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson, T-Mobile failed to address known cybersecurity vulnerabilities for years, allowing hackers to expose the data of 79 million people.
Ferguson stated, 'This significant data breach was entirely avoidable. T-Mobile had years to fix key vulnerabilities in its cybersecurity systems - and it failed.'
The lawsuit claims T-Mobile's notifications regarding the breach violated the Consumer Protections Act by omitting essential information necessary for assessing risks associated with identity theft.
The lawsuit alleges that T-Mobile 'did not meet industry standards for cybersecurity' prior to the hack and used 'obvious passwords' to protect consumer information.
