Q Link Wireless made private customer information accessible with just a phone number - The Verge

A mobile carrier allowed anyone with one of its customers phone numbers to access their personal information, including name, address, phone number, and text and call history, according to a report by Ars Technica.

Before the change, Ars was able to see, but not change, a bevy of information from a Hello Mobile customer who volunteered their phone number, including their name, address, account number, email address, and which numbers they’d contacted or been contacted by.

Regardless, there’s still a ton of information that was available to anyone able to get the phone number of one of Q Link Wireless’ customers.
