One router. One testing server. One kid with internet access.

In this episode of Cypher Tech Hacks, Alex Cipher unravels the wild story of how a 21-year-old hacker infiltrated T-Mobile’s internal systems, spent weeks undetected, and exfiltrated data on over 40 million customers — all without using a single line of malware.

We break down:

• How a misconfigured router opened the door
• The path from dev environment to production databases
• Why logging and segmentation failures made this attack so easy
• And what it says about the state of security at major telecoms

This breach wasn’t flashy. It was surgical. And the scary part? It could happen to almost any company still running on legacy infrastructure and lazy segmentation.

If you’re building, managing, or securing anything — this is the episode you have to hear.

In this episode of Cypher Tech Hacks, host Alex Cipher uncovers the real-life Tesla API hack that let attackers remotely access and control Teslas across 13 countries. It wasn’t a bug in Tesla’s system—it was a deadly combination of exposed tokens, careless third-party developers, and silent API abuse.

This story is a wake-up call for anyone using smart tech or developing connected apps.
