Trump Mobile hack exposes personal data of thousands of customers

A new hacking group known as BYOD has breached Trump Mobile, a phone company launched by President Donald Trump's sons, and exposed the personal data of 3,615 customers. The leaked information includes names, email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses, and order details. Among those affected were a Trump adviser, executives, and a Republican lawmaker, though no members of the Trump family were included. BYOD claimed the breach occurred because Trump Mobile admitted they had "no team to handle this" and labeled hackers as terrorists.

The hackers gained access by infecting an employee of Liberty Mobile, the Florida-based company that provides network services for Trump Mobile. Researchers verified that the leaked data appeared legitimate and were not tied to earlier breaches. The breach also exposed Eric Brunnett, the Trump Organization's vice president and chief information officer, despite his previous claims of maintaining a robust security posture.

This is not the first security issue for Trump Mobile. In May, a flaw in the company's pre-order system exposed data from about 30,000 people. BYOD also claimed to still have access to Trump Mobile's internal dashboard and shared a screenshot of a customer's personal data. The company has faced multiple delays in releasing its flagship product, with prices increasing and features decreasing since its launch.

Crypto influencer Carl Runefelt called the incident "the most embarrassing hack of 2026," highlighting the irony of a company bearing the president's name failing to protect customer data. The Trump Organization's lawyer, Nicholas Hayes, confirmed he was listed in the data but no longer uses Trump Mobile. The hackers' actions have raised serious questions about the company's security measures and ability to protect its customers.
