Or XFinity (Verizon) 🤣This is a clusterfook. I want them to disappear but then we'll be left with just Verizon and AT&T![]()
If your information was compromised your Account Holder should have received an SMS notifying them. Otherwise you could visit https://www.t-mobile.com/account/dashboard and there should be a message in your notifications about the Cybersecurity incident with information specific to your account.If anyone knows how to check if you're information was compromised, please share.
Rumor has it that you have some saucy pics in the cloud. 🥰50 Million People data compromise / 1 Apology.
T-Mobile... Come up with a better security plan. The hacker himself call it out.
Agree. "We only are releasing this statement because we got caught, but we pinky promise we will upgrade our security so it doesn't happen again."I hate when these companies release statements after the fact saying how important keeping customer info safe and secure is. Just so disingenuous when it clearly isn’t important to them at all.

as for the T-Mobile apology, how about some compensation? This is America after all, right ? I’m thinking a free phone should suffice.
I'm a former customer, so the website doesn't recognize my phone number.If your information was compromised your Account Holder should have received an SMS notifying them.

I agree. It’s just PR damage control to keep shareholders from revolting & minimize the damage to their stock valuation. It’s got nothing to do with customer satisfaction/protection.I hate when these companies release statements after the fact saying how important keeping customer info safe and secure is. Just so disingenuous when it clearly isn’t important to them at all.
You should assume all your information leaked and make moves to protect yourself. You can start by freezing your credit file with the major credit reporting agencies: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/09/credit-freezes-are-free-let-the-ice-age-begin/I'm a former customer, so the website doesn't recognize my phone number.
Wrong. The second he decided to sell/release the customer info he deserved to spend the rest of his miserable life in jail.The hacker was bold and brave to come out with his name. But he deserves a job, not a jail sentence.
While I agree with you 100% they have to say something in order to do damage control since they are running business affecting multiple countries of customers. It makes sense from a business standpoint. Time after time I see people here saying that Apple needs to put out a statement after a major news article affects their customers.I hate when these companies release statements after the fact saying how important keeping customer info safe and secure is. Just so disingenuous when it clearly isn’t important to them at all.
His flip to expose facto white hat better fail.Wrong. The second he decided to sell/release the customer info he deserved to spend the rest of his miserable life in jail.
T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert today penned a letter to T-Mobile customers apologizing for the recent data breach that impacted more than 50 million current, former, and prospective T-Mobile users.

Data that included names, phone numbers, addresses, birth dates, social security numbers, driver's license and ID info, IMEI numbers, and IMSI numbers was stolen and has been offered for sale.
"We didn't live up to the expectations we have for ourselves to protect our customers," wrote Sievert. "Knowing that we failed to prevent this exposure is one of the hardest parts of this event. On behalf of everyone at Team Magenta, I want to say we are truly sorry."
He went on to say that T-Mobile is "disappointed and frustrated" and that keeping customer data safe is a responsibility that is taken "incredibly seriously." Preventing attacks is a "top priority" for the company.
The hacker who claims to have attacked T-Mobile's servers yesterday said that T-Mobile's security is "awful." The hacker said that he discovered an unprotected T-Mobile router in July and used that to access T-Mobile's data center in Washington, where he was able to get in using stored credentials.
Sievert said that T-Mobile is coordinating with law enforcement on a criminal investigation, and that the company is unable to disclose specific details at this time.T-Mobile has now notified every current T-Mobile customer about the data breach, and is working to notify former and prospective customers. Those affected can visit T-Mobile's website dedicated to the attack, which provides tools for signing up for free McAfee ID Theft Protection, setting up Scam Shield, and using the Account Takeover Protection service.
In an attempt to prevent future attacks, T-Mobile has entered long-term partnerships with cybersecurity experts at Mandiant and with consulting firm KPMG LLP. T-Mobile is planning a multi-year investment into beefing up its security.

So many people have come and gone from their security organization and I'm one of them. I quit several years ago and so did many other good security pros. That alone should tell you something. Mandiant and KPMG have been involved there since the birth of their security operations org. Mandiant involved in a past breach and everyone there laughs at KPMG. Keep up the good work GUYS.
