Anyone who applied for a regular T-Mobile USA postpaid plan between Sept. 1, 2013 and Sept. 16, 2015 might be affected.
Experian said hackers broke into its computer system in September and accessed a computer server full of the information.
The bad guys took T-Mobile customer names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and other identifying data (like driver's license, military ID or passport numbers.)
"This was an isolated incident of one server and one clients' data," Experian said in a public fact sheet.
