Today you will be hearing all over the news about a T-Mobile employee who sold personal data of thousands of T-Mobile customers in the UK to rival networks. This is a major breach of our data protection laws and has led to the employee facing prosecution. Reuters reports that T-Mobile issued a statement regarding the facts of this major data breach after they had learned that the employee was passing on this data. Christopher Graham, the Information Commissioner said that this data had been sold to other network carriers for “substantial amounts of money.” If anyone is convicted in this case, then the privacy watchdog is going to push for jail time. The data that has been sold includes personal details from those whose T-Mobile contract is about to expire.
