In an unusual enforcement action, the inter-agency committee stated that T-Mobile created a significant national security risk.

T-Mobile has been served with a $60m penalty for failing to take adequate measures to protect against unauthorized access to its data, and failing to promptly report a data breach, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) has reported.

CFIUS rarely names companies involved in its enforcement
