T-Mobile Hacked Oh So Gently
Yesterday we reported that T-Mobile was hacked severely based on rumors floating around the web. Initially it was thought that abolutely EVERYTHING was jacked from T-Mobile’s servers. T-Mobile contacted us saying they were investigating the matter and would let us know. Well, they have let us know.
Here is the updated T-Mobile statement on alledged hacking:
“To reaffirm, the protection of our customers’ information and the security of our systems is paramount at T-Mobile. Regarding the recent claim on a Web site, we’ve identified the document from which information was copied, and believe possession of this alone is not enough to cause harm to our customers. We continue to investigate the matter, and have taken additional precautionary measures to further ensure our customers’ information and our systems are protected. At this moment, we are unable to disclose additional information in order to protect the integrity of the investigation, but customers can be assured if there is any evidence that customer information has been compromised, we would inform those affected as quickly as possible.”
So from the above we can assume the T-Mobile system WAS compromised but the data acquired is of no concern to customers and probably no value to the perps. That is what I call being hacked oh so gently.
