Trump Mobile confirms exposure of customer data

As reported by TechCrunch, phone provider Trump Mobile has confirmed that its customers’ names, email addresses, mailing addresses, cell numbers, and order identifiers were exposed to the open internet.

Chris Walker, a spokesperson for Trump Mobile, stated that the company is investigating the exposure and has not found evidence of financial information being compromised. The company claims there was no breach of its network or systems. The exposure is reportedly linked to a third-party platform provider that supports some Trump Mobile operations, though the provider was not named.

This admission follows earlier reports this week from customers and YouTubers who alerted the company after a researcher discovered the publicly accessible data. The YouTubers, Coffeezilla and penguinz0, attempted to notify Trump Mobile after the researcher also failed to get a response. Trump Mobile is currently evaluating whether to notify its customers about the exposure of their personal data.
