TEHRAN, February 7 - A Swiss mobile phone operator said its data systems were breached late last year and the contact details of about 800,000 customers were compromised.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Swisscom said Wednesday that the names, addresses, telephone numbers and date of birth of the customers was accessed by an unknown party, which got the data through a sales partner of Swisscom.
It said that passwords, conversations and payment data were not affected and that it has not received any reports of customers suffering as a result.
Swisscom said it discovered the incident through a routine check of its activities and is carrying out an in-depth investigation.
The 800,000 customers represent almost 10 percent of Switzerland's overall population.
