T-Mobile hacked in massive Chinese cyber-espionage: Wall St. Journal
T-Mobile’s TMUS.O network was among the systems hacked in
a damaging Chinese cyber-espionage operation that gained
entry into multiple U.S. and international telecommunications
companies, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday citing
people familiar with the matter.
Hackers linked to a Chinese intelligence agency were able
to breach T-Mobile as part of a monthslong campaign to spy
on the cellphone communications of high-value intelligence
targets, the Journal added, without saying when the attack
took place.
“T-Mobile is closely monitoring this industry-wide attack,”
a company spokesperson told Reuters in an email.
“At this time, T-Mobile systems and data have not been impacted
in any significant way, and we have no evidence of impacts to
customer information.”
It was unclear what information, if any, was taken about
T-Mobile customers’ calls and communications records, according
to the WSJ report.
. . .
There were reports yesterday of problems/failures
in the T-Mobile network.
Clearly now NOT a mere accident.
Xi and Vlad now seem to be able to get into
anything anywhere.
