Big security breach at T-Mobile?
Posted in This Just In... on June 9th, 2009 by gkrakowThe fourth largest U.S. cell phone provider is investigating the possibility that their computers were hacked into and loads of confidential data was compromised.
According to reports, one document in particular which named T-Mobile American servers was published, over the weekend by security Website Insecure.org.
There was reportedly also a note threatening to sell confidential T-Mobile data to the highest bidder.
According to a T-Mobile spokesperson:
“Following a recent online posting that someone allegedly accessed T-Mobile servers, the company is conducting a thorough investigation and at this time has found no evidence that customer information, or other company information, has been compromised. Reports to the contrary are inaccurate and should be corrected. T-Mobile continues to monitor this situation and as a precaution has taken additional measures to further ensure our customers’ information and our systems are protected. As is our standard practice, customers can be assured if there is any evidence that customer or system information has been compromised, we would inform those affected as quickly as possible.”
Scary stuff.
