T-Mobile has detailed how it successfully prevented a recent cyberattack that targeted its edge-routing infrastructure.
The company’s Chief Security Officer assured the public that no sensitive customer data was accessed during the attempted intrusion.

T-Mobile (https://www.androidauthority.com/best-t-mobile-plans-786372/), 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 (https://www.androidauthority.com/t-mobile-prevented-data-breach-not-a-joke-3501411/) an attempted intrusion into its systems.

Today, T-Mobile Chief Security Officer Jeff Simon disclosed in a blog post (https://www.t-mobile.com/news/un-carrier/update-cyberattacks-targeting-us-wireless-companies) 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.
