Trump Mobile website is reportedly leaking customer data including names, addresses and order numbers

Last week, Trump Mobile announced that its T1 phone was finally shaping up to be an actual product ready to ship after months of delays and controversy. Now, the Trump Mobile website is allegedly facing serious security issues that have reportedly led to the leakage of customers' private information and order numbers.

According to YouTubers Coffeezilla and Cr1TiKaL, the official Trump Mobile website has been leaking customer information, including full names, email addresses, mailing addresses, and order numbers. Customers' credit card information appears to be safe. Anyone who ordered the phone or opted for Trump Mobile's cellular service could be affected.

Coffeezilla received the information via an anonymous source who shared personal data to prove they had access. The anonymous individual claimed to have exploited a vulnerability in the Trump Mobile website, allowing access to the entire pre-order database and even the ability to place fake orders for the T1 phone. "Long story short, I found a vulnerability in the Trump T1 Mobile preorder website and gained the ability to both place fake orders, but also to scrape and search the entire preorder database," the person told Coffeezilla.

Neither YouTuber explained exactly how hackers could access the data, with Coffeezilla describing it as "very low-hanging fruit" and saying he didn't want to make the problem worse. Both reached out to the Trump Mobile team but had not yet heard back. The company's customer support told PCMag it was aware of the issue and was working on a fix, though no timeline was provided.

The leak also revealed something interesting about the phone's actual popularity. Initial estimates suggested just under 600,000 pre-orders, but based on the total amount of leaked data, Coffeezilla estimates the real figure is closer to 10,000, far lower than previously thought.

Trump Mobile was announced last year with the promise of delivering a Made in the USA phone. According to NBC News, whose reporters got their hands on the device nine months after it was supposed to ship, marketing materials have since quietly shifted to say the phone was designed with American values in mind and shaped by American innovation.
