Customers say Trump Mobile is leaking their personal information

TechCrunch — Privacy · · International · Data Breaches

Trump Mobile customers report that their personal information, including email and home addresses, is being exposed in an apparent data leak. Two YouTubers say they independently confirmed the authenticity of their own leaked data, and the company has not responded to notifications about the problem.

Why this matters: People who signed up for a phone service handed over their contact details expecting basic security. Instead, their home addresses appear to be sitting out in the open. That is a physical safety issue, not just a nuisance. What makes this worse is the silence. When a company gets notified of a leak and does not respond, customers have no way to protect themselves because they do not even know they are exposed. Someone has to be accountable for that. Right now, nobody seems to be.
