In yet another alarming case of data theft from a technology company, T-Mobile has been ordered to pay $1.92 million to a customer after an employee stole nude images from their phone during a trade-in. According to the lawsuit, the customer traded in their phone to T-Mobile in 2018 under the premise that all data would be securely deleted and recycled. However, unbeknownst to the customer, an employee took three sexually explicit pictures from their phone and shared them with others. The lawsuit, which was filed in the Northern California District, asserted that the customer experienced "emotional distress, humiliation, anxiety, fear, pain, suffering and anguish" as a result of the violation of their privacy. In response to the suit, T-Mobile quickly moved to implement additional device security measures, including "temporarily prohibiting device trade-ins," among others. They also acknowledged full responsibility of the incident and the harm that it had caused. The California judge, who approved the settlement, commended T-Mobile's efforts to improve customer security, but reminded them to "exercise more serious oversight" in order to deter similar breaches in the future. Clearly, this incident is yet another reminder of the risks associated with tech companies mishandling customer data. As customers continue to put more trust in these companies, companies like T-Mobile must exercise greater security protocols to ensure the safety of their customers.
