Trump Mobile Exposed Customer Data Online
22 May
Summary
- Customer names and contact info were publicly accessible online.
- A third-party platform is blamed for the data exposure.
- The company is assessing if customers need notification.
Phone provider Trump Mobile has acknowledged that it exposed customer data, including names, email addresses, mailing addresses, and phone numbers, to the public internet. A company spokesperson confirmed the exposure, stating it is under investigation and is believed to be linked to a third-party platform supporting their operations.
The company asserts that no breach of its core network or systems occurred and that there is no indication of financial or content information being compromised. This admission follows reports earlier this week of customer data being publicly accessible online.
Two YouTubers who ordered phones from the provider alerted them after a researcher discovered the exposed data. Trump Mobile is currently evaluating the necessity of notifying its customers about the exposure of their personal information.
