Mint Mobile is notifying customers about a security breach.
Without mentioning this on its social media channels or anywhere on its website that we could find, Ryan Reynolds’ Mint Mobile chose the last Friday before Christmas to tell customers it’s had a data breach. Cord Cutters News and Bleeping Computer point out this Reddit comment from a company account saying affected customers should have an email from “no-reply@account.mintmobile.com.” Leaked information includes names, phone numbers, email addresses, SIM/IMEI numbers, and some service plan details.
Mint Mobile is apparently still in the process of being acquired by the famously insecure T-Mobile that has had two breaches this year and nine since 2018.
