T-Mobile US Inc. confirmed Sunday that it is investigating claims that a hacker is attempting to sell the personal data of more than 100 million customers.

The hacker told Motherboard that T-Mobile had successfully regained control of its servers, but not before the trove of personal data had already been downloaded. The data breach, if confirmed, could affect nearly every T-Mobile customer in the U.S.; in its second-quarter earnings report last month, the telecom company reported about 104.79 million U.S. customers, according to FactSet data.
