T Mobile’s source code was stolen by the Lapsus$ hacker organization in a series of attacks in March, according to Krebs on Security. T-Mobile acknowledged the hack and stated that the “systems hacked contained no customer or government information or any similarly sensitive information.”
The Lapsus$ hacking gang discussed attacking T-Mobile in the week leading up to the arrest of seven of its adolescent members, according to copies of private communications recovered by Krebs. Employees may make SIM swaps using the company’s internal technologies, such as Atlas, T-customer Mobile’s management system, after acquiring credentials online. This form of attack includes switching a target’s phone number to a different phone owned by the assailant. The attacker can then acquire any texts or calls received by that person’s phone number, including any multi-factor authentication messages.
T-Mobile said that “our monitoring tools spotted a bad actor utilising stolen credentials to access internal networks that store operational tools software” a few weeks ago. “Our systems and processes performed as expected, the breach was quickly detected and stopped, and the compromised credentials were rendered useless.”
Over the years, T-Mobile has been the target of various cyber-attacks. Although this specific attack did not compromise consumer information, previous instances did. A data breach in August 2021 compromised the personal information of nearly 47 million clients, A few months later, another incident compromised “a tiny number” of consumer accounts.
