T-Mobile reportedly managed to contain a security breach, according to a new report.
The breach was detected early, and customer data wasn’t accessed by the hackers, sources claimed.
This comes after T-Mobile was hit by an embarrassing string of data breaches spanning several years.
T-Mobile (https://www.androidauthority.com/best-t-mobile-plans-786372/) has had a concerning number of data breaches in recent years, with as many as nine breaches since 2019. However, we’re very surprised to hear that the company may have prevented a breach.
Bloomberg (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-19/t-mobile-said-to-have-caught-hackers-early-averting-data-leak) reports (spotted via Android Police (https://www.androidpolice.com/t-mobile-thwarts-data-breach-2024/)) that T-Mobile actually contained a data breach, citing people familiar with the matter. The sources claimed that the hackers gained access to “edge-routing infrastructure” and were able to access a “limited number” of devices, including a T-Mobile-operated router.
