Been a T-Mobile customer for ages. Sim swaps are too easy. 2 factor is a joke. This is like the 3rd time my data has been lifted. But I stay with them, why? Because I have 3 free lines, unlimited everything, for $32 a month. They have crazy phone trade in deals from time to time, T-Mobile tuesday usually nets me 15c off per gallon at shell. Am I happy that they keep getting hacked? Absolutely not, but I'm happy prett…

Similar for me, I have 4 lines (2 I’m using) unlimited everything, no data caps for $100 a month. I looked at other options and there’s nothing close that compares.
I really hope TMO takes security seriously going forward.

What I don't understand is why the hacker (whose full name is used in the article - alias?) is being public about this? Shit security or not, they made a clear cut black hat move purely for money. Or I suppose the other factor is fame/infamy. Pretty sure there are at least a few pissed off hackers among those 50M people who would want to track this person down digitally and pull something as retaliation.

how on earth do you have 3 lines with unlimited data for 32 a month?
Blame the victim. The reality is, it’s all about incentives. He is going to make a few million. If their security were great they’d still have gotten hacked. Everyone who knows anything about computers knows, where there’s a will there’s a way. You cannot stop a determined hacker. Full stop. The problem is there are great incentives and not enough deterrents. Bitcoin. This will only get worse until the public decides…
What you're saying is essentially the equivalent of saying "If someone had a bulldozer they could smash through the wall into my house anyway, so I'm going to stop locking my doors and closing my windows when I'm out"
Everyone's security is awful, as the penalty for failure is less than the expense required to make it secure. Until the former becomes higher the latter will guarantee insecurity rules.
True, but the Polaris (East Wenatchee) data center is a complete joke in every way.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Grandfathered "simple choice" plan with 10 lines for $160. I have upgrade to 5G phones with no problems. Not unlimited, but I never use up the data anyway. I really hope TMO takes security seriously going forward.
It would be nice to be able to open these accounts without providing PII, so that it would be harder to attack specific users, and breaches would not be so damaging to customers. This US trend of requiring government-issued ID for even routine transactions (like phone service) that aren’t ID-related is insane and dangerous.
