Trump Mobile is finally shipping its long-delayed T1 smartphone, but the rollout is already running into a serious and embarrassing security headache. The cellular company, launched by the Trump family last summer, is now investigating a website flaw that exposed the personal details of roughly 27,000 prospective buyers.
The issue first came to light after security researchers discovered that Trump Mobile’s website may have exposed sensitive preorder information through poorly secured order pages. According to a new report from The Guardian, Trump Mobile has confirmed that the exposed data included customer names, phone numbers, email addresses, shipping addresses, and order numbers.
