Yeah you.... If this were an article about any other carriers' security being compromised the staff would have already adressed whether or not this meant an ETF free depature from a contract, and if so, there would be detailed instructions on how to do so. So what gives, are we free to jump or not? Hey BG! Yeah you….

How about you shut your pie hole and the rubbish it spews until you know what the hell you're talking about. The Full Disclosure message specifically says "everything" and if you read through the detail, if you can read, there are several mentions of customer databases. Don't be a moron. @NegativeJoe – did you bother to read the message posted by the ones who claim to have the data?

Please use your thinking caps and some common sense before causing a riot. No one likes yelling "FIRE!" in the crowded theater more than internet blog sites, huh? I'll worry when they specifically say "CUSTOMER" information was compromised. Until then, there is no wolf, Peter. “claim to have obtained several confidential documents along with financial and database data”
