WASHINGTON, D.C. — The FCC on Monday confirmed that it has reached a “groundbreaking” data protection and cybersecurity settlement with T-Mobile to resolve Enforcement Bureau investigations into significant data breaches that impacted millions of U.S. consumers.
To settle the investigations, T-Mobile has agreed to “important forward-looking commitments to address foundational security flaws, work to improve cyber hygiene, and adopt robust modern architectures, like zero trust and phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication.”
Oh, it will also pay a multimillion-dollar civil penalty to the U.S. Treasury.
