Threat Score
T-Mobile and other carrier employees have been receiving unsolicited texts offering payment for illegal SIM swaps; Reddit posts and screenshots show messages promising cash and Telegram contact links. T‑Mobile says it is investigating and reports no systems breach, while the messages claim employee contact data came from an internal directory—possibly stemming from past publicly acknowledged breaches—raising risks of account takeovers and targeted social‑engineering abuse.
