  • Current and former T-Mobile employees are receiving text messages offering them $300 for every SIM swap they perform.
  • SIM swapping allows a bad actor to gain access to a phone line, which they can use to obtain two-factor authentication codes sent to the victim.
  • It appears the criminals were able to contact these employees with the help of a leaked employee directory.

We did not have a systems breach. We continue to investigate these messages that are being sent to solicit illegal activity. We understand other wireless providers have reported similar messages.
