据华尔街日报报道,美国电信巨头T-Mobile近期成为了一系列针对美国和国际电话及互联网公司的网络攻击的受害者。虽然T-Mobile声称其系统和数据未受到重大影响,但此次攻击目标是电信公司用于政府获取客户数据的窃听系统。黑客组织疑似与中国政府有关,FBI和CISA已发布警告,称中国正在进行广泛的网络间谍活动,目标是包括总统候选人在内的高级美国官员的通话记录和短信。这是近年来T-Mobile第九次遭遇网络攻击,此前2023年的一起攻击导致3700万客户的个人信息被盗。

🕵️‍♂️黑客组织疑似与中国政府有关,FBI和CISA警告称中国正在进行网络间谍活动,目标是美国高层官员的通讯记录。

📅这是T-Mobile近年来第九次遭遇网络攻击,2023年的一起攻击导致3700万客户信息泄露。

🚨此次攻击目标是电信公司用于政府获取客户数据的窃听系统,该系统是根据一项30年前的联邦法律建立的。

U.S. phone giant T-Mobile was hacked as part of a broad cyberattack on U.S. and international phone and internet companies in recent months, according to the Wall Street Journal.

T-Mobile said it was “closely monitoring this industry-wide attack, and 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,” according to a statement shared with TechCrunch.

The Wall Street Journal first reported the breach at T-Mobile, citing sources familiar with the campaign targeting telecom giants.

A T-Mobile spokesperson, who did not provide their name, would not say if the company had the technical means, such as logs, to determine what, if any, customer data was accessed or exfiltrated. The spokesperson did not dispute the Journal’s reporting.

T-Mobile is the latest telecommunications company in recent weeks said to be hit by an intrusion, linked to a series of cyberattacks targeting phone and internet companies, including AT&T, Verizon, and Lumen (formerly CenturyLink). The hacks, conducted by a group of hackers working for the Chinese government dubbed Salt Typhoon, targeted the wiretap systems that U.S. phone and internet companies are required under a 30-year-old federal law to allow government access to customer data

The FBI and U.S. cybersecurity agency CISA went public this week to warn the wider industry of linked cyberattacks, accusing China of conducting a “broad and significant cyber espionage campaign” aimed at targeting the call records and text messages of high-ranking American officials, including presidential candidates.

This is the ninth known cyberattack to target T-Mobile in recent years, according to an ongoing count by TechCrunch. The most recent breach at T-Mobile was in 2023, leading to the theft of personal information from 37 million T-Mobile customers.
