What happened

Trump Mobile has already faced intense scrutiny this year over steep price hikes on its T1 smartphone , questionable hardware specs , and shipping delays . A data breach (an incident in which data leaves an organisation without permission) of partner MVNO Liberty Mobile exposed Trump Mobile's full subscriber base.

Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Threat actor group “BYOD” published 3,615 customer records belonging to Trump Mobile subscribers on the dark web. Hackers allegedly gained entry via a remote access trojan (RAT) on an employee device at partner MVNO Liberty Mobile.

Exposed files include sensitive personal details of active subscribers and abandoned checkout data. However, this does not include data from Trump Mobile T1 phone orders.
