“Regarding the recent claim on a Website, we’ve identified the document from which information was copied, and believe possession of this alone is not enough to cause harm to our customers,” a T-Mobile spokesperson said in an e-mail.”We continue to investigate the matter, and have taken additional precautionary measures to further ensure our customers’ information and our systems are protected.”
