The consumer credit monitoring firm said that the breach had occurred on 15th September, and concerns customers who applied for T-Mobile USA services between September 1 2013 and September 16 this year.

In his letter, Legere said: "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."
Experian said that its consumer credit database was not accessed, nor was any payment card or banking information stolen during the attack.

"Records containing a name, address, Social Security number, date of birth, identification number (typically a driver’s license, military ID, or passport number) and additional information used in T- Mobile’s own credit assessment were accessed. No payment card or banking information was obtained."
