There’s been a question about T-Mobile being part of this or not.  I have

I suspect that a gag order has been issued for the other companies, and a
cybersecurity incident response team has already been hired and is in place.

Failing to find a list of providers that were hit. Anyone know more ? I
don't see them mentioned.
Verizon & AT&T I know of.
