T-Mobile says it is investigat­ing a leak of its data after someone took to an online forum offering to sell the personal informatio­n of cellphone users. The company said Monday that it has confirmed there was unauthoriz­ed access to “some T-Mobile data” but was still determinin­g the scope of the breach and who was affected. It also said it was confident that it has closed the entry point used to gain access.

The Vice report says the data includes Social Security numbers, phone numbers, names, physical addresses, unique device identifier­s and driver license informatio­n.
