Trump Mobile breach may have exposed data of 3,615 people

Trump Mobile appears to have suffered a data breach that may have exposed information about 3,615 people, according to reports by PCMag and Straight Arrow News. The reported data included names, home addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and order information. People contacted by the two outlets confirmed that the leaked information about them was accurate.

The data may also include people who never completed sign-up for Trump Mobile. One person told PCMag they had provided their email address and phone number but never managed to set up an account. The reported dataset also included information related to Eric Brunnett, chief information technology officer at The Trump Organization.

A hacking group called BYOD claimed responsibility for the potential breach. A member told PCMag the group accessed the phone service by installing a remote access trojan on an employee of Liberty Mobile, the carrier that powers Trump Mobile’s network. BYOD also claimed to have access to the backend of Trump Mobile’s website, according to Straight Arrow News.

The Verge said it contacted Trump Mobile for comment but had not immediately received a response.
