T-Mobile provided the following statement to FOX Business.
“Once our teams identified the problem, we shut it down within 24 hours. Our systems and policies prevented access to the most sensitive types of customer information and, as a result, customer accounts and finances should not be directly at risk from this event. There is also no evidence that the attacker breached or compromised T-Mobile’s network or systems.”
T-Mobile said it has notified law enforcement and federal agencies.
The wireless carrier had security breaches previously.
