T-Mobile, a company that has faced numerous data breaches in recent years, appears to have successfully defended itself against a sophisticated cyberattack. The company, which experienced as many as nine data breaches since 2019, recently detected and neutralized an attempted intrusion into its systems.
Today, T-Mobile Chief Security Officer Jeff Simon disclosed in a blog post that the attack originated from a compromised wireline provider’s network that was connected to T-Mobile’s infrastructure. Simon emphasized that the company’s robust defenses prevented the attackers from accessing sensitive customer data, including call records, voicemails, and text messages.
