T-Mobile Confirms Data Breach

Hacker stole T-Mobile user data containing the social security numbers, phone numbers, physical addresses, unique IMEI numbers, and driver license information for more than 100 million people. There are many more #vulnerabilities in the telecommunication sector including services misconfiguration. Compromising subscriber’s credentials or devices using social engineering, phishing, malware, etc.  

One of the primary methods used by attackers when targeting telecoms is SIM swapping – the act of swapping the SIM number associated with a phone to the SIM card in the attacker’s phone. This gives them access to the victim’s traffic, including the valuable two-factor authentication tokens that individuals receive in form of text messages. Two-factor authentication processes are used to protect highly sensitive information, including online banking and social security number.  

SIP or Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) hacking is the most common #cybersecurity threat in Voice-over-IP (VoIP) communications.
