T-Mobile Hacked

[momentarylapseofreason]

WARNING! T-Mobile USA servers have been breached. The so called “hacker” has valuable information such as subscriber data and says they “have everything, their databases, confidential [sic] documents, scripts and programs from their servers, financial documents up to 2009.” The “hacker(s)” claim that they’ve been in close contact with the carrier’s competitors trying to sell the data, but have had no luck so far. Now, they are apparently looking to sell all of it to the highest bidder. The perpetrators allegedly call themselves “hackers”… if you would want to go as far as saying that. We aren’t really clear yet as to how all of this data was obtained and whether it was from an internal employee or not.
Our friends over at Engadget, however, have received an official comment from T-Mobile, stating that they are looking into the claim but cannot confirm if this has actually happened. “The protection of our customers’ information, and the safety and security of our systems, is absolutely paramount at T-Mobile. Regarding the recent claim, we are fully investigating the matter. As is our standard practice, if there is any evidence that customer information has been compromised, we would inform those affected as soon as possible.” Their statement pretty much amounts to your standard announcement anytime a claim like this is made somewhere - we see someone claims to have done something, we value your privacy and will work to ensure that all this gets cleared up, and we will be the first to inform you if data has been compromised. Hmm… let’s hope something happens soon… we’ll keep you posted.

They call themselves "Hackers"? How original

So where did you hear this? It sounds a little fishy to me

How does that make it more believable since he was citing engadget in the first place? Not saying it hasn't happened but if you would have read the first post, you'd know the source in the first place.

On another note... the original site you posted does offer some possible proof of a breach.
