T-Mobile Gets Hacked Again

I'm shocked. OK, I can't even pretend to be shocked. T-Mobile confirms servers were hacked, investigates data breach

T-Mobile has confirmed that threat actors hacked their servers in a recent cyber attack but still investigate whether customer data was stolen.

Yesterday, news broke that a threat actor was selling the alleged personal data for 100 million T-Mobile customers after they breached database servers operated by the mobile network.

As for the "again" part of the title...

This would be the sixth data breach suffered by T-Mobile in the past four years: 

• In 2018, millions of T-Mobile customers' info was accessed by hackers. 
• In 2019, T-Mobile prepaid customers' data was exposed.
• In March 2020, hackers gained access to T-Mobile employee's email accounts.
• In December 2020, hackers gained access to exposed the customer proprietary network information (CPNI).
• In February 2021, threat actors gained access to an internal T-Mobile application to target up to 400 customers in SIM swap attack attempts.

Six breaches in four years is a lot.
