Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / T-Mobile / January 2005T-Mobile Customer Information Sold to Hackers! SS#, DOB, PIN Numbers etc...! My identity got stolen! Take Credit Checks out ASAP!
This is a warning to all Tmobile Customers!! A hacker has compromised Tmobile's poorly secured database and has sold customer information to hackers According to this news article "Jacobsen could access information on any of the Bellevue, Washington-based company's 16.3 million customers, including many customers' Social Security numbers and dates of birth, according to government filings in the case. He could also obtain voicemail PINs, and the passwords providing customers with Web access to their T-Mobile e-mail accounts. He did not have access to credit card numbers. " Hacker penetrates T-Mobile systems http://www.securityfocus.com/news/10271 Hacker's Resume http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/77/216516 (or google t-mobile in news) As a Tmobile customer, my identity was stolen and used because of this hacker and T-mobile did nothing to warn me or say anything to its millions of T-Mobile customers even though this has been known for months. If you, or somebody you know is a T-mobile customer, you should assume that your identity has been stolen and request a credit check, and also review your tmobile bill for fraudulent purchases. I've already gotten fraudulent purchases on my account, so it seems like everyones information is compromised. I've been very paranoid about my Social Security/ private information getting leaked, so I was going crazy figuring out how somebody had access to my Social Security/ Date of Birth. This news provides the answers. TAKE OUT CREDIT CHECKS ASAP!!! Here is the hacker's personal info according to my article: Nick Jacobsen, Email: ethics netzero net Phone: 541-679-3218 ICQ #: 23292256 Address: 120 Winston Section Road Winston, Oregon, 97496 Nicholas Jacobsen 1911 NE Thompson Portland, OR Massage: (503) 287-4812 Email: ethics@netzero.net He did not have access to the complete database. He had limited access to the T-Mobile.Com system, not the actual customer database... A small number of accounts had any form of access, all effected accounts have been notified in writing, and the doors have been closed. The T-Mobile website has nothing to do with voicemail PINs. The only email accounts would have been accounts set up thru MyEmail.Com. > This is a warning to all Tmobile Customers!!

This is per the Secret Service. If you were "exposed" otherwise, it wasnt this case... Produce your letter saying your account was involved... Well, the THING THAT PEEVES me off is that I WAS NEVER CONTACTED!!! Basically, T-Mobile is trying to keep this low-key with a cover up that that their database was hacked, by saying only 400 people's identities were stolen. The fact of the matter is that thousands more people's were probably hacked, and T-mobile is hiding this so that they don't loose any business. I found my identity got stolen only by luck. I was never contacted. I called up randomly and noticed somebody had used MY ACCOUNT TO ORDER A PHONE to an address other than my billing address (near the end of my billing cycle so it would have taken ahile to notice) The only way that's possible is if someone had gotten my SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, and PIN to my account, AND KNEW MY CELL PHONE NUMBER. I never gave my SS# to my bank, or to many of the institutions, therefore, the only company that KNEW MY SS#/ DOB, and PIN was TMOBILE. If T-Mobile's security was so lax that 1 hacker broke in, there must be others who have broken in before, or he's gotten much more than that. If you read the article, this hacker was so stupid, he knew secret service agents were on to him, and he still continued to hack in. Therefore, its more than likely others have hacked into T-Mobile as well. And I'm not going to release my account name/ address for T-mobile to hush me up. The news is out there, stop trying to screw us customers with LIES!!!! > He did not have access to the complete database.

If you were "exposed" otherwise, it wasnt this case... >> Produce your letter saying your account was involved... This incident was limited, and you would have been contacted if your account was accessed... There is so far no proof that any of the approx 400 accounts were actually sold or released... As has been previously stated, this was cleared by the US Secret Service, not T-Mobile. Server logs were checked, and the accounts accessed are part of teh court case in Federal Court. IF you were accessed, much less had your identity challenged, you were notifed in writing... > Well, the THING THAT PEEVES me off is that I WAS NEVER CONTACTED!!! > Basically, T-Mobile is trying to keep this low-key with a cover up that [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, and PIN to my account, AND KNEW MY CELL PHONE > NUMBER.

The fact many many people like you fail to recognize and respect is that the initial intrusion was caught and reported to the Secret Service by TMOBILE... Not by some other investigations, or agancy.... TMOBILE... Folks who dont knwo what the heck it is all about, also fail to catch the fact that the intruder who has been charged accessed and used the account "belonging" to the Secret Service rep... I would not be surprised if many of tha accounts were like that one... Im sure that the account he accessed as the Agnet's "account" were bogus or dummy accounts set up to catch the intruder....

Show me one single lie... Remeber a lie is a provable falsehood... Not supposition, guess, or feeling... Provable, false information presented as fact... Give me a live link to a legitimate source on the internet.... You like many folks here that have posted don't read the actual facts... You read the parts you want to, and make loopy little fantasies and what ifs based on your biases and stupidty... > > He did not have access to the complete database.

If you are so sure that your account was directly threatened or exposed, file charges against T-Mobile.... If T-Mobile is so horrible, that you even chose your moniker here, call Customer Care, cancel your account, and leave... > Well, the THING THAT PEEVES me off is that I WAS NEVER CONTACTED!!! > Basically, T-Mobile is trying to keep this low-key with a cover up that [quoted text clipped - 96 lines] > letter > > saying your account was involved...
