Specifically Assurance Wireless by T-Mobile only uses last 4 as an identifier and once that leaks beneficiaries suffer constant service interruptions and the corp offers no way to lock the account and say require presenting in person at a TMobile store to get service transferred to a new SIM card. And I hate how the media fails to mention that this program is as much for grocers, farmers and food manufactures as it is for the beneficiaries.
