Cellcom Restores Regional Mobile Services After Cyberattack

Cellcom, a regional wireless provider, experienced a multi-day network outage beginning May 14 after detecting “unusual activity” that the company described as a cyberattack; services were largely restored by May 19. The carrier involved law enforcement and security partners in an investigation, reported no evidence of customer data exposure, and observers suggested a DDoS via compromised routers or residential proxies as a likely explanation for the disruption.
