** T-Mobile Customer Data Intercepted in Satellite Security Breach

** University researchers captured T-Mobile customer communications using an $800 satellite receiver, revealing widespread unencrypted data transmission. The study exposed sensitive military, law enforcement, and infrastructure communications. Multiple companies have since implemented encryption fixes. **CONTENT:**

In a startling security revelation, researchers have successfully intercepted T-Mobile customer call and text data from completely unencrypted satellite communications using basic equipment. The joint study from UC San Diego and University of Maryland exposed critical vulnerabilities in satellite backhaul systems that transmit cellular data in remote areas, capturing not only consumer communications but also sensitive government and infrastructure data.
