Trump Mobile customers' data dumped - and some never even received their gold device
All that glitters …
People who signed up for Trump Mobile may have fallen victim to a ransomware attack, as criminals claim to have infiltrated the Trump-branded mobile business and exposed data belonging to 3,615 individuals, including personal details like names, email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses, and order information. BYOD, a new ransomware-as-a-service operation, posted the leak, stating that Trump Mobile provided no assistance and labeled hackers as terrorists.
The hackers reportedly gained access to Trump Mobile through a Liberty Mobile employee infected with an infostealer. Neither the Trump Organization nor Liberty Mobile has commented on the breach. The data dump does not contain any information about President Donald Trump or his family members, but it does include personal details of Eric Brunnett, vice president and chief information officer for the Trump Organization.
A week prior to BYOD's leak, another criminal group, EndZone, also claimed to have breached Trump Mobile and released a stolen dataset, likely originating from the same initial breach. This isn't the only security issue Trump Mobile has faced; a security researcher discovered a vulnerable website a month earlier, which could have been accessed with a simple POST request.
