Happy Thanksgiving!
1 MIN READ It is that time of year again when we prepare amazing meals and spend time with loved ones. Every year I have my own little debate. This year I figured I would bring the friendly debate to the Community. Tradition or trying new things? The traditional Thanksgiving meal is always delicious and something I look forward to for weeks. It can be stressful to make a meal large enough to feed that many people, but the familiarity holds a sense of comfort. And with the amount of leftovers.. the possibilities are endless! Ever had the urge to put tradition aside and try something completely different? Shake things up and try a meal no one would expect. Go on a trip to see new sights. Or keep it quiet and casual with a simple movie and popcorn. I’m curious to know what you prefer. Has there been a spontaneous change that became a tradition in your family? Tell us all about it in a comment below.Welcome to the new Community!
1 MIN READ We are so happy that you found your way into the new community. We're always looking for ways to improve your experience, so we did a little remodeling. The first step was updating the website's location to T-Mobile.com/community. If you have any bookmarks or saved links, it'd be a good idea to update those, so you never have to worry about getting misdirected or lost in cyber space. You may have also noticed that things might look a little different. We tried not to make any drastic changes, but little things like the icons, avatar bubbles, or a few other things have a different theme or may not be in the same place. Got questions about the new look or layout? Let us know in the comments.Ranks

2 MIN READ In the world of cybersecurity, hackers are considered enemies, and businesses are asking how they can stay one step ahead of them. But we at T-Mobile think of them a little differently, treating some hackers as allies. One of the ways we’re working to better protect customers, employees and their data is by enlisting the help of ethical hackers (aka security researchers or white hats). Ethical hackers are cybersecurity experts who use their hacking skills for good to help companies fight bad actors. At T-Mobile, they help us close doors to cybercriminals and fortify our efforts to protect customer and employee information. The role of ethical hackers in our security strategy Through our bug bounty program, T-Mobile rewards ethical hackers for helping identify possible weaknesses, called “bugs”. We then fix the bugs, helping to create a safer space for our customers and employees. T-Mobile offers a range of payments for different kinds of bugs, as well as other incentives that encourage a steady stream of skilled contributors to join the program and help us stay ahead of cybercriminals. How ethical hacking shows up on the Community A lot of effort goes into fighting bad actors, and you may have seen some of that work around here. Have you ever seen a post with seemingly random lines of code, or links that don’t look like they would go anywhere (we’re not talking about spam)? Those might be from ethical hackers who are here, too, poking around and helping us find holes we may not have known about. But whether ally or foe, we take all suspicious posts seriously and work closely with our cybersecurity team to address them. Conclusion As cyber threats evolve, our security methods evolve too. Ethical hackers help us identify and remediate weaknesses. Their findings have also helped usimplement broader measures acrossT-Mobile to resolve other issues quickly. Our bug bounty program is just one of the ways we’re working to keep our customers, employees and their data better protected. Want to know more about the Bug Bounty program? Check out our T-Mobile Bug Bounty Program Makes Allies Out of Adversaries article on the Newsroom. Interested in becoming an ethical hacker? Check out our T-Mobile Bug Bounty Program page to learn more about how it works. If you aren’t versed in coding languages but you still want to help, always say something when you see something. Leave us a comment here or use the report or feedback buttons throughout T-Mobile’s websites to tell us about anything that looks suspicious.
T-Life Contests
I have an iphone 14. When I successfully complete the puzzles required to enter a giveaway, the “submit” button is always displayed under the various contest rules and will not activate. There doesn’t seem to be a way to move it away from the overwriting text. Has anyone solved this?
