    That's still 3,600 people who already fell for an obvious grift. That's basically a gold mine in future scams!

    the company's spokesperson then added the nugget that they were still evaluating whether they needed to inform the affected customers

    Very on brand.

    Interesting enough article, and thank you for sharing. But can we talk for a moment about the "About the author" and his apparent inability to decide whether that section should be in first- or third-person?

    About the author: Writing is my one incontrovertible passion. Over the past six years, he has authored over 2,200 distinct articles on financial and tech-related topics, spanning nearly 1 million words. And he has been a member of Wcctech mobile team since 2025. As an alumnus of the University of Toronto, Rotman Commerce Program, I bring nuance, in-depth knowledge, and a unique perspective to every topic that I cover. When I'm not writing, I'm traveling the world, exploring hidden confectionaries and restaurants as an aspiring food connoisseur.

    Sounds like it was written by the author originally, then an editor or manager went “this doesn’t sound impressive enough. We need more metrics and hard numbers”. So they copy-pasted some third-person content from the author’s Wikipedia page, before sending it to the site.

    It's kind of like how all the world's best athletes congregate for the Olympics, everyone there is great at what they do, otherwise they wouldn't be there.

    This is like that, except exactly the opposite. They're all idiots. Delegations from individual towns, having a contest of supreme dunceness.

    Wait they only have 3,000 customers. How is that not the main story here, who cares if their data was hacked, if they are a custom of trump mobile they're probably the sort of idiot that posts their photos credit card on Facebook anyway

    I think probably half of those are YouTubers who bought the phone as a bit for content, to tear it down and see just how shit it is, etc.

    I didn't think "Trump Mobile Subscribers" would be a big enough pool of people to be a tempting target for hackers...That's a lot of work for a list of trailer-parks...

    So 25% journalists reviewing the phone and the rest spies?

    So, here is what we know so far. Apparently, Trump Mobile only had 3,615 MVNO customers, and all of their sensitive private information has now been leaked on the dark web. The data trove includes first and last names, email addresses, telephone numbers, home addresses, and details on orders with Trump Mobile, as per an analysis by Straight Arrow.

    I want to put money on the fact that they sold the data, themselves, for a profit. Since they had an absolutely pathetic number of subscribers

    Lol. If the subscribers were a town it wouldn't be big enough to have a Walmart.

    Nah, that's not true. My hometown has less than 400 and has a Dollar General. They'll put a store anywhere.

    The hackers should brick the phones and have only the TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES (TM) show up on them.

    Speaking of PR, the Poplar Group, which had entered into a services contract with Trump Mobile only in June 2025, and whose Chris Walker had given the now-infamous statement to USA Today back at around the same time, asserting that the T1 Phone was, in fact, made right here in the United States, is no longer representing Trump Mobile. Trump Mobile has, since then, altered its marketing narrative to "assembled in America."

    Isn't that old news? I thought they changed it again, to something like "Designed with American Values in mind." Like, literally no part of the design or production takes place in America. It's a slightly modified version of an old HTC phone. They might put it in boxes to ship out, but that's it.
