US Cellular Suffers Massive Data Breach

US Cellular customers should be on the lookout for targeted phishing scams utilizing information stolen from the CRM as well in increased spam emails, text messages, and robocalls. In addition, US Cellular customers should change account PINs if they are reused anywhere else since they are now compromised.
