Three UK

Three has experienced a new data breach after what appears to be a technological error caused users to be shown the account information of other subscribers.

The compromised information includes the names, addresses, dates, and births of those eligible for smartphone upgrades.

The My3 mobile app reportedly allowed those impacted to view other people's phone numbers, call histories, and bills.
