The Trump Mobile saga continues in the worst way possible. The company’s first smartphone, by all accounts a rebranded HTC U24 Pro, which is a device launching in 2024, was expected to start shipping in August or September last year. Obviously that didn’t happen, but shipments are now supposedly imminent.
But now there’s another problem. Trump Mobile confirmed to TechCrunch that it exposed customer information, including names, phone numbers, home addresses and email addresses on its website.
The company is currently investigating the exposure and has not yet found any evidence of illicit use. The exposure was apparently linked to a third-party platform provider that supports “certain Trump Mobile operations,” according to Trump Mobile spokesperson Chris Walker. However, the platform provider was not named.
The company insists that there was no breach of its network, systems, or infrastructure, which is funny because there was no need for it: all of the aforementioned customer data was accessible to anyone on its website. Regardless, Walker says Trump Mobile is now “evaluating whether it is necessary to notify customers about the exposure of their personal data.”
