Mint Mobile discloses data breach affecting customer data

Mint Mobile, a popular cellular provider, has disclosed a data breach that exposed customer data. The breach occurred a couple of months ago and resulted in the theft of about 30 gigabytes of data, including names, telephone numbers, email addresses, and some serial numbers. While payment data and hashed passwords were not exposed, the incident highlights the importance of privacy-conscious alternatives like Mint Mobile, which allows users to purchase services with cash and maintain a level of anonymity. The breach serves as a reminder of the importance of using additional security measures, such as two-factor authentication, to protect personal information.
