• 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 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 reports (spotted via Android Police) 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.
