Security Notice: Possible Data Breach

We’ve been notified of a potential data incident involving T-Mobile customers in the Fort Lauderdale area. While details are still being reviewed, it’s possible that customer information such as names, phone numbers, email addresses, or account details may have been exposed.

Project Expose’s mission is simple: make sure everyone knows how to protect themselves online — even when big companies slip up. We keep the intel sharp so you stay one step ahead.

This page is designed to help you quickly check your exposure, lock down your accounts, and understand what steps to take next. Even if you’re not sure you’ve been affected, it’s smart to treat this as a wake-up call and tighten your security.

Step 1: Check if your email appears in known breaches

• Visit Have I Been Pwned and enter the email(s) you use with T-Mobile.
• If your email shows up in any breaches, assume those passwords are compromised and move to the next step.

Step 2: Secure your T-Mobile and other accounts

• Change your T-Mobile account password to a strong, unique one you don’t use anywhere else.
• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on T-Mobile and your email accounts.
• Update passwords on any other accounts that use the same email + password combo.

Step 3: Watch for suspicious activity

• Monitor your call/text history for SIM-swap attempts or strange verification codes.
• Keep an eye on your bank and credit card accounts for unusual charges.
• Pull free credit reports from AnnualCreditReport.com and look for new accounts you don’t recognize.
