T-Mobile Hacked? Yes. Maybe. No.

Posted on June 9, 2009 by Dissent

It’s been a confusing few days for those trying to understand what T-Mobile press releases were really saying about what they found when they investigated claims on the Full Disclosure mail list. Their somewhat terse statements led some of us to conclude that they were saying that they had some evidence of data theft, while others had headlines blaring that the company had confirmed it was hacked. Now it turns out that they are saying no hack, no breach.

Kudos to Bob McMillan of IDG News Service, who managed to get a clearer statement from the company. To cut to the chase from his story:

The hackers did manage to get legitimate T-Mobile data, but they didn’t do it by hacking into the company’s network, the company said. “The document in question has been determined to be a T-Mobile document though there is no customer information contained in the document,” the company said in a statement. “There is no evidence to indicate that the T-Mobile security system was hacked into nor any evidence of a breach.”
