You have to appreciate online forums like “Full Disclosure,” which serves as an an unmoderated destination where people can post information on security vulnerabilities.  This also means that bad guys can post updates on their activities.  Case in point: the potential T-Mobile breach. The company is investigating a claim that a massive amount of internal data has been stolen from the telecommunication operator’s servers, a company spokesman said Monday.

On Saturday, some bad guys posted a message about T-Mobile saying that had completed a massive breach and have been unsuccessful in selling the data to a T-Mobile competitor.    No word yet from T-Mobile as to whether the breach actually happened.  The word on the streets is that Full Disclosure contains posts and information from wanna-be hackers who make fales claims about breaches they had completed.  We will be tracking this one.  So, stay tuned!
