Media outlets finally got their hands on the elusive Trump Phone earlier this week, revealing it to be a rebranded HTC U24 Pro. Right around the same time, YouTuber Coffeezilla shared that Trump Mobile’s website was leaking customer data, including phone numbers and even physical addresses. The company has now acknowledged that’s the case, though it apparently hasn’t decided whether to inform affected customers.
As reported by TechCrunch, Trump Mobile spokesperson Chris Walker told the outlet that the it’s looking into how customer data, including email addresses, mailing addresses, and phone numbers, was made accessible through public-facing webpages. The spokesperson said the mishandling of customer data was somehow linked to an unspecified third-party platform used in “certain Trump Mobile operations,” the report says.
