T-Mobile agrees to $31.5M settlement
In what may become a telecom industry model, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has settled a cybersecurity breach case with T-Mobile agreeing the company will pay a $15.75 million civil settlement and invest $15.75 million more in increased cybersecurity. This resolves T-Mobile breach cases from 2021, 2022 and 2023 and will require it to add zero-trust architecture and multi-factor identification to its networks.
