Trump Mobile may be exposing customer addresses
▼ Summary
– Trump Mobile has been accused of insecurely storing customer data, potentially exposing addresses and phone numbers.
– The alleged data leak revealed that the number of T1 Phone orders placed is far lower than viral figures claimed.
– YouTuber Coffeezilla first reported the leak, tipped off by an anonymous person who discovered the website vulnerability.
– The hacker claimed they could place fake orders and scrape the entire pre-order database.
Just as the T1 Phone appeared ready to finally ship, Trump Mobile is facing serious accusations of insecure data storage, potentially exposing customer addresses and phone numbers. The alleged security flaw has also revealed the actual number of T1 Phone pre-orders, which turns out to be dramatically lower than viral social media posts have suggested.
The potential leak was first reported by YouTuber Coffeezilla on his secondary channel, voidzilla. He was alerted by an anonymous individual who claims to have discovered a vulnerability on the Trump Mobile website. According to the hacker, this flaw allowed them to not only place fake orders for the phone but also to “scrape and search the entire pre-order database,” gaining access to sensitive customer information.
The breach, if confirmed, raises significant privacy concerns for anyone who placed an order. The exposed data reportedly includes personal contact details, leaving customers open to potential spam, phishing, or other unwanted contact. The revelation stands in stark contrast to the inflated order numbers that have been circulating online, painting a far more modest picture of the device’s early sales performance.
