"T-Mobile is closely monitoring this industry-wide attack. Due to our security controls, network structure and diligent monitoring and response we have seen no significant impacts to T-Mobile systems or data.

We will continue to monitor this closely, working with industry peers and the relevant authorities."

Due to the increase in SIM swap attacks, T-Mobile introduced its Port Out Protection feature to help safeguard users from unauthorized attempts to transfer T-Mobile numbers to other wireless providers.

After failing to “prevent and report unauthorized access to sensitive data” sometime in 2020-2021, T-Mobile is facing a hefty fine. And by hefty, we mean $60 million.
This was imposed by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US (CFIUS) after finding the wireless carrier had violated its mitigation agreement terms part of its 2020 Sprint acquisition.
A few days ago, T-Mobile issued a memo instructing its stores to return all remaining stock of the REVVL 7 Pro. This device, which was launched in May alongside the REVVL 7, bears the T-Mobile brand but was manufactured by various companies, including TCL.
The recall appears to be in response to a significant issue, prompting the wireless carrier to include even demo units in the recall. According to the memo, all affected devices must be returned by August 14. T-Mobile cited the recall as necessary to "maintain high-quality standards."
