		</div><p>Hackers have stolen personal data relating to more than 15 million T-Mobile customers in the US, after targeting a credit agency that works with the phone operator.</p>
<p>T-Mobile has confirmed the information stolen includes names, addresses, dates of birth and social security numbers of millions of customers, and came after Experian, the firm that processes T-Mobile’s credit applications, revealed it had been breached by hackers.</p>
<p>The phone operator’s chief John Legere said that any customers who had joined or attempted to join T-Mobile between September 1 2013 and September 16 2015 could be affected by the attack.</p>
<p>“We are working with Experian to take protective steps for all of these consumers as quickly as possible,” he said in a statement.</p>
<p>“Obviously I am incredibly angry about this data breach and we will institute a thorough review of our relationship with Experian, but right now my top concern and first focus is assisting any and all consumers affected. I take our customer and prospective customer privacy very seriously.”</p>
<p>In response to the attack, Legere said that Experian was also taking “aggressive” steps to improve the security of its servers, and confirmed that T-Mobile would give anyone affected free credit monitoring service for two years.</p>
<p>In its own statement, Experian chief executive Craig Boundy said: “We take privacy very seriously and we understand that this news is both stressful and frustrating. We sincerely apologise for the concern and stress that this event may cause.</p>
<p>“That is why we’re taking steps to provide protection and support to those affected by this incident and will continue to coordinate with law enforcement during its investigation.”</p>
<p>No one has yet claimed responsibility for the breach, which is the latest in a string of high-profile cyber attacks following hacks on Sony Pictures, eBay and adultery website Ashley Madison in the last two years.</p>
