Hackers claim to have hit thousands of Trump Phone customers as the bad news for golden smartphone fans continues

Cybercriminal group BYOD has released personal information for 3,615 Trump Mobile customers, adding to the growing list of security concerns surrounding the Trump-branded cell phone service. The data, which includes names, email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses, and order details, was obtained through malware on a Liberty Mobile employee's device.

Despite claims that Trump Mobile had no response team available, BYOD asserts it maintained access to a customer dashboard and lacks any indication of multi-factor authentication.
