    T-Mobile has been unfortunate on this occasion, but companies such as these have to put their trust within the technical people that work within their organisation who have access to such information.

    The people that have this responsibility should be vetted thoroughly and not have full access to this kind of information on their own. Those people guilty of selling this data obviously have no regard for people's personal information and are oblivious to the impact this type of theft has on both the company and consumers in general; consequentially they should be punished for their actions.

    The effect on the industry will be greater given the amount of publicity this story has attracted and further emphasis will be put onto those companies that hold such data to tighten up their security so that this doesn't happen again.

    The general public will react in the worst possible way, conscious that there are far more personal bits of information held on them, such as financial information which they would not want to fall into the wrong hands or be shared outside of where the information should be held.

    Identity fraud has been a big topic in the past and this is another large blow to the industry which we could all do without.
