T-Mobile is looking into a post on an online forum that claimed to be selling the personal data of more than 100 million people swiped from the mobile carrier’s servers.

The data breach included information such as Social Security numbers, phone numbers, names, physical addresses and driver licenses information, according to media outlet Vice, which earlier reported on the security breach claim Sunday. The forum post doesn’t mention T-Mobile by name, but the seller told Vice’s Motherboard that the data came from T-Mobile servers.

The seller is asking 6 Bitcoin (about $277,000) for a subset of the data containing 30 million Social Security numbers and driver’s licenses, while the rest of the data is being sold privately, according to the Vice report.

T-Mobile didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment but confirmed to Vice that it’s investigating the claim.

“We are aware of claims made in an underground forum and have been actively investigating their validity. We do not have any additional information to share at this time,” a T-Mobile spokesperson told the news outlet.

Polychain, A16z Face Unregistered Security Lawsuit Over Internet Computer Token Sale

/in


Dfinity’s highly-anticipated Internet Computer (CRYPTO: ICP) platform found itself amid a major controversy after a class-action lawsuit been filed in California describes it as an unregistered security.

What Happened: The complaint was filed on July 15 “on behalf of all investors who purchased Internet Computer Project tokens on or after May 10, 2021.”

The filing targets cryptocurrency hedge fund Polychain Capital, venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz and Dfinity’s founder Dominic Williams as defendants in the lawsuit.

Internet Computer attempts to combine the high-speed data processing power of the internet with the security and trustlessness of blockchain technology by employing a novel consensus system based on queries and calls instead of the more familiar Cardano’s (CRYPTO: ADA) proof-of-stake and Bitcoin’s (CRYPTO: BTC) proof-of-work. 

What’s ICP? With its claimed “unprecedented” capabilities, Internet Computer intends to compete not only with the likes of Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) but also with the cloud computing industry and most centralized services ranging from social media such as Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) to intermediaries such as Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE:UBER).

This new cryptocurrency launched in May and found enough hype by market participants that its network is now worth $4.6 billion — it is the 21st biggest cryptocurrency.

The Lawsuit: A recent report by crypto intelligence firm Arkham Intelligence suggests that Internet Computer’s 90% price crash in its first month is unusual for a project with heavy institutional investment and support.

While a spokesperson for the project dismissed the paper as “ludicrous” in an email sent to an industry news outlet Decrypt, the document purportedly identified $2 billion of ICP being transferred by “probable insider addresses” to cryptocurrency exchanges at times coinciding with sharp price decreases.

In other words, the document suggests a probable “dumping” by people involved with the project.
