The Massachusetts attorney general, Maura Healey, has launched an investigation of the August 16 T-Mobile U.S. Inc TMUS cyberattack that compromised the data of over 50 million people, WCVB reports.
"My office is extremely concerned about how this data breach may have put the personal information of Massachusetts consumers at risk," Healey said.
Healey aims to probe whether T-Mobile had proper safeguards to protect customers' personal information and mobile devices, Reuters reports.
The breach followed a public apology from the CEO and shocking revelations from the hacker.
Last month the U.S. Federal Communications Commission launched a related probe.
Price Action: TMUS shares traded lower by 0.95% at $128.79 on the last check Tuesday.
