Hackers attacked Deutsche Telekom customers’ routers, causing as many as 900,000 of the carrier’s more than 20 million landline subscribers to lose service or see disruptions starting Sunday, the company said. While the carrier’s network wasn’t affected, it will take some time for all customer routers to work again, the carrier said Tuesday in a website statement. “We saw attacks from the Mirai botnet that targeted customer routers globally,” Thomas Tschersich, head of IT security at Deutsche Telekom, said in a video message posted on Twitter. Deutsche Telekom said no customer data was stolen and it has no evidence who the attackers were. Deutsche Telekom rose 0.6% to €14.74 at 12:17 pm in Frankfurt, reversing earlier losses of as much as 0.5%.
