Telus says attackers got into some customer telecom accounts and accessed personal and billing information. The company says the activity ran from February 2025 through June 2026 and involved compromised credentials used to access names, account numbers, phone numbers, billing addresses, email addresses, partial payment card numbers, subscription details, and payment history. Telus also says the stolen account data was used to try to persuade customers to switch providers and, in some cases, to make unauthorized service changes.
Why it matters: Affected customers face account takeover, targeted social engineering, and misuse of their telecom services. Telus users should reset passwords, check for unauthorized account changes, and be cautious of calls or messages referencing real billing or account details.
