	"plain_text": "Mint Mobile hit by a data breach after numbers ported, data accessed\r\nBy Lawrence Abrams\r\nPublished: 2021-07-10 · Archived: 2026-04-05 18:29:43 UTC\r\nMint Mobile has disclosed a data breach after an unauthorized person gained access to subscribers' account information and\r\nported phone numbers to another carrier.\r\nAccording to the data breach notification email sent to affected subscribers this weekend, between June 8th and June 10th, a\r\nthreat actor ported the phone numbers for a \"small\" number of Mint Mobile subscribers to another carrier without\r\nauthorization.\r\nIn addition to the ported number, Mint Mobile disclosed that an unauthorized person also potentially accessed subscribers'\r\npersonal information, including call history, names, addresses, emails, and passwords.\r\nhttps://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/mint-mobile-hit-by-a-data-breach-after-numbers-ported-data-accessed/\r\nPage 1 of 4\n\n0:00\r\nhttps://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/mint-mobile-hit-by-a-data-breach-after-numbers-ported-data-accessed/\r\nPage 2 of 4\n\nVisit Advertiser websiteGO TO PAGE\r\n\"Between June 8, 2021 and June 10, 2021, a very small number of Mint Mobile subscribers' phone numbers, including\r\nyours, were temporarily ported to another carrier without permission,\" Mint Mobile disclosed.\r\n\"While we immediately took steps to reverse the process and restore your service, an unauthorized individual potentially\r\ngained access to some of your information, which may have included your name, address, telephone number, email address,\r\npassword, bill amount, international call detail information, telephone number, account number, and subscription features.\"\r\nMint Mobile data breach notification\r\nSource: Reddit\r\nWhile Mint Mobile has not said how the threat actor gained access to subscribers' information, based on the accessed data, it\r\nis likely that hackers hacked user accounts or compromised a Mint Mobile application used to manage customers.\r\nAs the threat actors may have gained access to your Mint Mobile password, it is strongly advised that you change your\r\npassword on your account.\r\nFurthermore, threat actors could have used the ported number additional attacks, such as phishing, or to gain access to 2-\r\nfactor authentication codes sent via text message.\r\nDue to this, Mint Mobile is warning affected users to \"protect other accounts that use your phone number for validation\r\npurposes and to reset account passwords.\"\r\nUSCellular disclosed a similar attack in January after threat actors scammed employees into download software that\r\nprovided remote access to the company's devices.\r\nUsing this remote access, the hackers used customer relationship management (CRM) software to access subscriber's\r\npersonal information and port their numbers.\r\nhttps://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/mint-mobile-hit-by-a-data-breach-after-numbers-ported-data-accessed/\r\nPage 3 of 4\n\nBleepingComputer has reached out to Mint Mobile for more information but has not heard back as of yet.\r\nThx to @CatgirlDev for the tip!\r\nAutomated Pentesting Covers Only 1 of 6 Surfaces.\r\nAutomated pentesting proves the path exists. BAS proves whether your controls stop it. Most teams run one without the\r\nother.\r\nThis whitepaper maps six validation surfaces, shows where coverage ends, and provides practitioners with three diagnostic\r\nquestions for any tool evaluation.\r\nSource: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/mint-mobile-hit-by-a-data-breach-after-numbers-ported-data-accessed/\r\nhttps://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/mint-mobile-hit-by-a-data-breach-after-numbers-ported-data-accessed/\r\nPage 4 of 4",
