Subject: [telecom] T-Mobile to pay millions to settle class-action suit over
data breach
By Matthew Keys
T-Mobile has agreed to pay more than $350 million to settle a
class-action lawsuit that stemmed from a serious data breach that hit
the company last year.
Current and former T-Mobile customers began receiving notices this
week saying they are eligible for a $50 payment if they file a claim
before next January. Residents in California are entitled to a $100
payment if they file a claim.

Subject: [telecom] How Mobile Phones Became a Privacy
Battleground–and How to Protect Yourself
By Thorin Klosowski
In the 15 years since the iPhone's debut, the world of data privacy
has changed significantly. Since 2007, app-privacy

selling location data–have snowballed, leading to concerns both
legitimate and misinformed, as well as the inability of many phone
owners to determine which threats are real. But digging through
history to understand where the privacy controls of iOS and Android
began, and how both mobile operating systems have shifted to give
people more control, can give you a better idea of what the true
threats are right now.
