comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

Potentially bad news for G1 owners and anyone else signed up with T-Mobile (we're looking at you Dwayne Wade and Charles Barkley). According to ChannelInsider, hackers have dug their way into the wireless telcom's network and stolen everything they could get their greedy little hands on, including proprietary operating data, customer databases, and financial records.

T-Mobile initially said it was unaware of the reported incident, but has since released a statement to ChannelInsider.

"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."

As proof of the alleged breach, hackers fired off an email to insecure.org providing an extensive list of T-Mobile servers. According to ChannelInsider, several former T-Mobile network admins came forward saying the list and server names look authentic.
