24 year-old John Binns who bragged about gaining access to T-Mobile’s systems in 2021 is about to be extradited to the US from Turkey.
The man responsible for the 2021 T-Mobile data breach is close to being brought to justice.
John Binns, an American citizen with a Turkish mother bragged about breaking into T-Mobile’s systems in 2021, claiming the carrier had awful security. While Binns acted as if that was his only motive, it is believed that he stole the data of millions of customers and put the repository up for sale on dark web forums that are popular hangout spots for cybercriminals.
Binns has been living in Turkey for quite some time and American authorities had been trying to get him extradited, which was no easy task, given the complicated relationship between the two countries. Binns had also applied for Turkish citizenship, which would have made the extradition process even harder.
