As a long-time Mint Mobile customer, I am wary on two levels: cost and security.

The FAQ implies this purchase is in name only, so far, unlike the Sprint purchase. No immediate change in cost or support.

T-Mobile's security, however, I am not comfortable with.

I'll be keeping my eye on other MVNOs, but how long until they're bought out by the competition?

I've seen anecdotal reports on HN, but is there anything more substantive about how they do in relation to other carriers?

They get breaches far more often than other carriers. The black market price of a SIM swap on TMobile is reputed to be significantly less than ATT or Verizon (see relevant Darknet Diaries episodes.)
