San Francisco: Lapsus$<\/a> hacking<\/a> group that hit top tech firms like Microsoft, Nvidia, Samsung and Vodafone, has now hacked into the top US telecom carrier.
Revealed by security journalist Brian Krebs<\/a>, the data breach gave Lapsus$ access to T-Mobile<\/a>'s network by compromising employee accounts, \"either by buying leaked credentials or through social engineering\".
\"This gave the hackers access to T-Mobile's internal tools, acewhich the hackers used in an attempt to find T-Mobile accounts associated with the FBI<\/a> and Department of Defense<\/a>, but were blocked as the access needed additional checks,\" reports TechCrunch.
T-Mobile said \"no customer or government information\" was accessed during the incident.
Krebs said that the hackers were able to steal source code for a range of company projects.
\"Several weeks ago, our monitoring tools detected a bad actor using stolen credentials to access internal systems that house operational tools software,\" the company said in a statement.
\"Our systems and processes worked as designed, the intrusion was rapidly shut down and closed off, and the compromised credentials used were rendered obsolete.\"
T-Mobile has confirmed six other previous data breaches since 2018.
Earlier this month, the City of London Police charged two teenagers with multiple cyber offences, just a week after they arrested seven individuals as part of its investigation into Lapsus$ hacking group<\/a>.
\"Two teenagers, a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old, have been charged in connection with this investigation and remain in police custody,\" said the police.
First surfaced in December 2021, the Lapsus$ hacking group recently broke into software development consultancy Globant<\/a>.
