Trump Mobile confirmed that it exposed customers' personal data, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, and home addresses, due to a third-party platform provider. The company is investigating and has not found evidence of financial data leakage.
Trump Mobile is accused of insecurely storing customer data, potentially leaking addresses and phone numbers from T1 Phone pre-orders. The leak also reveals order numbers far lower than viral claims.
A hack of Trump Mobile and Senator Maggie Hassan's inquiry into its apparent lack of FCC authorization are raising national security concerns, with questions about ties to Liberty Mobile Wireless and missing robocall filings. The piece also notes Trump Mobile's unmet launch promises and that its phone is reportedly a rebranded Chinese-made HTC U24 Pro.
Trump Mobile's website still claims the T1 Phone is 'American-made' in its meta title, potentially violating FTC rules, despite admitting components are not US-sourced. The phone's launch continues with few units shipped and a data breach revealed.
Florida's DMV (FLHSMV) suffered a major data breach after a local law enforcement employee insecurely stored login credentials, with the cybercriminal group ShinyHunters allegedly stealing personal data of current and former Florida residents.
