T-Mobile reused staff passwords

Telco says breach was limited.

A hacking group has dumped internal login-in details for T-Mobile staff revealing the US telco had reused passwords for multiple accounts.

Hackers from group Teamp0ison claimed to have found SQL injection vulnerabilities on the T-Mobile website where it found the names, email addresses, phone numbers and passwords of the administrators and staff members.

T-Mobile's parent company, Deutsche Telekom, said that only the newsroom section of the website was compromised and no other T-Mobile proprieties were affected.

No customers have been affected, it said.

Teamp0ison had previouslyy posted log in details belonging to the United Nations, hacked the official BlackBerry blog and posted details of Australian Government departments that were later said to be outdated.
