T-mobile denies security breach after a hacker claimed to have accessed all the confidential information

T-Mobile: No security breach in alleged hacking

BELLEVUE, Washington — T-Mobile USA Inc. said Tuesday that it did not suffer a security breach after a hacker claimed this weekend to have accessed the company’s servers. T-Mobile, a unit of Deutsche Telekom AG in Germany, said it was investigating the allegation and found no evidence that hackers got any customer or company information.

On Saturday, a hacker claimed in an online forum that “we have everything, their databases, confidential documents, scripts and programs from their servers, financial documents up to 2009.”

The hacker said T-Mobile’s rivals weren’t interested in buying the data, so the offer is now open to the highest bidder. A long list of T-Mobile server names were posted online.

T-Mobile spokesman Peter Dobrow said the Bellevue-based carrier is looking into the possibility that an internal document was leaked. He will not confirm whether the server names were authentic, although other online reports said they were real.

The company said an investigation was ongoing.
