T-Mobile hack linked to Chinese breaches of telecom networks


This is the ninth known cyberattack to target T-Mobile in recent years, according to an ongoing count by TechCrunch.

The Wall Street Journal first reported the breach at T-Mobile, citing sources familiar with the campaign targeting telecom giants. A T-Mobile spokesperson, who did not provide their name, would not say if the company had the technical means, such as logs, to determine what, if any, customer data was accessed or exfiltrated. The FBI and U.S. cybersecurity agency CISA went public this week to warn the wider industry of linked cyberattacks, accusing China of conducting a “broad and significant cyber espionage campaign” aimed at targeting the call records and text messages of high-ranking American officials, including presidential candidates.
