100 Million T-Mobile Customers Data including unique IMEI numbers, Names, & Other Details Stolen
According to the reports, the hackers have hacked T-Mobile’s production, servers, and staging around two weeks ago; even the Oracle database server is hacked. A T-Mobile spokesperson said to The Verge, Cyble, a Cybersecurity intelligence firm, said that the threat actor had stolen approximately 106GB of data, including the customer relationship management (CRM) database of T-Mobile. The motherboard was the first that reported this data breach. In the last few years, T-Mobile has been the target of several data breaches. The most recent one is in December 2020, when call-related information and phone numbers of few customers were exposed, but it did not have more sensitive information like names or Social Security numbers. This is not the first time T-Mobile has been scandal. Earlier, in February, the company was sued by a victim who lost $450,000 in Bitcoin in a SIM-swap attack. In 2019, a few of the prepaid customers of T-Mobile were affected by a breach that hacked the names, addresses, and account numbers. In 2018, around 2 Million T-Mobile customers’ personal information was hacked.
