This time China breached us.
So, it turns out, that the culture of cutting costs to low wage asian folks has backfired.. again.

No man. You can't let india login to america systems and expect that to be safe. Russia and China are at the computer consoles in india. OMG..... we are giving the asians all our data. Wow man! I can't believe the indians run IT.
TMO flat out admitted a couple years ago that they KNEW at that time that there was a state actor inside the network and they were monitoring it. They admitted to it in an all hands meeting. I think most people just glossed over the mention of it but this is not likely a new hack but some exploit of what they've been in the network preparing for for years now. Cool thing is, I had no NDA so I can repeat whatever I heard in those meetings.
…or, also known as, *“the SLT trusted the IT/Cyber/CCIE/”MIT” Engineers to ask the DeVry/CCENT Techs to stand down while the Engineers verified the security of the network.” The really smart folks are on top of this.👤📞☎========🏢========☎📞👮🚨🚓
"We have no evidence of access or exfiltration"
Also known as, "we have no logs and can't tell if they moved laterally and accessed sensitive information."
T-Mobile's statement to TMO News:
“T-Mobile is closely monitoring this industry-wide attack. Due to our security controls, network structure and diligent monitoring and response we have seen no significant impacts to T-Mobile systems or data. We have no evidence of access or exfiltration of any customer or other sensitive information as other companies may have experienced. We will continue to monitor this closely, working with industry peers and the relevant authorities.”
...no SIGNIFICANT impacts... so there were impacts. I'm assuming those impacts were having to apply patches to their Cisco routers.
@2zii+1vwgq9sO, are you aware of security flaws in the “shiny new app”. Have you reported the flaws? Are you concerned about the possibility of insider leaks?

Another Marcus East wannabe - Jeff Simons, the pretty boy who just talks and goes to conferences to stay relevant, while customer data gets hacked. Arrogance at T-Mobile is unmatched. Wait until hackers realize the security flaws in our shiny new app.
@OP+1vwgq9sO, super smart folks are investigating. When you have some time, brush up on your CALEA/LI knowledge. Perhaps, seek out the awesome, top talent, seasoned, legacy Sprin-t, switch ops folks; the “you can hear a pin drop” types.

This company needs to face serious consequences for it poor management and weak governance as this is 3 or 4 major security problems in the last couple of years, the company should be sanctioned and all development projects shelved until this company puts all its emphasis on hardening its infrastructure
Hahaha, fu-k T-Mobile and the mo--ns leading this company! Fine this company into the ground and fire every single one of these execushits.
Technically, is it a “breach” if the government mandates “wiretapping”? Please read the entire latest, and previous October 5th WSJ articles. As an alumnus, you should have full online access to your university library services; not sure if DeVry offers this. Please don’t break any copyright laws.
The hack of AT&T, Verizon, and Lumen was reported over a month ago, and you may have briefly heard that Trump and Vance were a target. As the investigation continues, more companies may be named. Links to some good articles below.

Shocking and disgusting. I'm out of this company soon, so sick of being hacked and yelled at
WOW Just saw this on the news.
Turns Chinese hackers were calling in and social engineering the offshore reps. I sure am glad I quit.
Glad I quit. Trash company.
If you read the stories this isn't just T-Mobile. This is AT&T Verizon Lumen. The main problem is apparently Cisco and their routers Is which were exploited. The equipment suppliers are protected by their contracts under the telcos pay all the fines and the stupid equipment suppliers get off Scott free.
Very sketchy and scary. I hope T-Mobile is fined billions for this.
