It seems T-Mobile was also hacked in massive telecomm breach by China-linked hackers
- T-Mobile has confirmed it is among the providers affected by a recent telecom hack allegedly carried out by hackers linked to the Chinese government.
- Verizon and AT&T were also impacted. Fortunately, no significant data loss has been reported.
- According to statements from the FBI and CISA, the attacks primarily targeted government officials and political figures.
Over the past month, numerous cyberattacks have targeted telecom providers in the U.S., attributed to the China-linked hacker group Salt Typhoon. Previous reports indicated that CenturyLink, AT&T, and Verizon were among the providers affected. It now appears that T-Mobile has also been breached, as first reported by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
The good news is that T-Mobile claims its customers should not be impacted by the breach. In a statement to WSJ, the carrier said:
“T-Mobile is closely monitoring this industry-wide attack, and at this time, T-Mobile systems and data have not been impacted in any significant way, and we have no evidence of impacts to customer information. We will continue to monitor this closely, working with industry peers and the relevant authorities.”
