According to reports, after being rocked by a large data breach in July, T-Mobile was hit by another cyberattack in August. According to papers published by The T-Mo Report, it appears that attackers gained access to “a tiny number” of users’ accounts this time around.
According to the study, consumers were either victim of a SIM switching attack (which might allow someone to overcome SMS-powered two-factor verification), had their plan info is given, or both.
According to the affidavit, the private network information on customers that was accessed might have included their billing account name, phone number, and account number, as well as information about their plan, such as how many lines were tied to their account, among other things.
The airline verified a data breach affecting over 50 million consumers last summer, with the attacker gaining access to social security numbers, names, and dates of birth, among other information.
According to a person claiming to be him, the hacker went on to describe the company’s security methods as “terrible.”

The information exposed in the December hack is less critical (according to the papers, clients who had their SIM cards changed have recovered access) and is likely to be of a smaller scale in comparison.
