T-Mobile Says Hacker Stole Data for 37 Million Customers
(Bloomberg) -- T-Mobile US Inc. said a hacker obtained data for 37 million customer accounts, though it didn’t include payment information, passwords or other sensitive personal data.

The wireless provider said in a federal filing it discovered the hack on Jan. 5 and was able to trace the source and stop it within a day.
The investigation is still ongoing, the company said, but the culprit appeared to obtain the information through a single entry point serving customer data, and doesn’t appear to have breached the company’s systems or network.
The data stolen includes the names, addresses, emails and phone numbers of customers, along with their account numbers and plan details, the company said, adding that credit cards, passwords and Social Security numbers were not accessed. Even without these sensitive data, hackers may still be able to target individual customers for theft, or breach other accounts.
All of the information stolen “is the type widely available in marketing databases or directories,” T-Mobile said in a statement to customers.
“Based on our investigation to date, customer accounts and finances were not put at risk directly by this event,” T-Mobile said in the filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company said it alerted law enforcement and has begun notifying customers whose information may have been accessed.
A T-Mobile representative declined to comment beyond what was written in the filing.
The company has faced multiple data breaches in the last few years. In 2021, a hacker stole the personal information, including Social Security numbers and driver’s license information, of more than 13 million active and 40 million prospective T-Mobile customers. The company settled a class-action suit related to that breach for $500 million last year. T-Mobile disclosed breaches in previous years, including 2020.

Fed's Williams says Fed needs more rate rises to cool inflation
Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams said on Thursday the U.S. central bank has more rate hikes ahead and sees signs inflationary pressures might be starting to cool off from torrid levels. “With inflation still high and indications of continued supply-demand imbalances, it is clear that monetary policy still has more work to do to bring inflation down to our 2% goal on a sustained basis,” Williams said in the text of a speech to be delivered before the Fixed Income Analysts Society in New York. “Bringing inflation down is likely to require a period of below-trend growth and some softening of labor market conditions,” Williams warned.

SLB wins Russia business as oilfield rivals exit after Ukraine invasion
Following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, world's largest oilfield firm SLB has boosted its business in Russia by cherry-picking service and equipment contracts from rivals who left, according to company documents and people familiar with its operations. While SLB's continued embrace of Russia has drawn sharp criticism, interviews with two people close to the company and industry sources, as well company documents reviewed by Reuters show SLB's decision to help Russia increase oil and gas production with its services and drilling equipment has paid off. For example, SLB's Russia and Central Asia reservoir performance division in the third quarter of 2022 grew revenue by 25% over the prior quarter.
