A cybercriminal hacked T-Mobile in 2021, exposing millions of users' personal information. As a result of the massive data breach, current and past customers may be owed money from the settlement of a multimillion-dollar class-action lawsuit.
The mobile carrier has agreed to a $350 million payout to settle litigation over the break-in. T-Mobile hasn't acknowledged any wrongdoing, but in a statement shared with CNET, said it was "pleased to have resolved this consumer class action filing."
