US phone giant T-Mobile has been hacked (again) as part of a widespread cyberattack on US and international phone and internet companies in recent months, the Wall Street Journal reports .
T-Mobile said it was “closely monitoring this industry-wide attack and at this time T-Mobile’s systems and data have not been significantly impacted, and we have no evidence that customer information has been affected,” according to a statement obtained by TechCrunch.
The Wall Street Journal was the first to report the T-Mobile breach, citing people familiar with the campaign against the telecom giant.
A T-Mobile spokesperson, who declined to be named, would not say whether the company has technical means, such as logs, to determine what customer data was accessed or deleted. The spokesperson did not dispute the Journal’s report.
T-Mobile is the latest telecom company to be hacked in recent weeks in connection with a series of cyberattacks on phone and internet companies, including AT&T, Verizon and Lumen (formerly CenturyLink). The hacks, carried out by a group of hackers working for the Chinese government and dubbed Salt Typhoon, targeted the eavesdropping systems that U.S. phone and internet companies are required to use under a 30-year-old federal law that allows the government to access customer data.
The FBI and U.S. cybersecurity agency CISA issued a warning this week about the related cyberattacks , accusing China of conducting a “broad and significant cyberespionage campaign” aimed at listening in on the calls and text messages of high-ranking U.S. officials, including presidential candidates.
According to TechCrunch, this is the ninth (!!!) known cyberattack on T-Mobile in recent years. The latest attack on T-Mobile occurred in 2023 and resulted in the theft of personal information of 37 million T-Mobile customers.
