Trump Mobile Data Leak Exposes 3,615 Subscriber Records

A claimed remote‑access trojan infection of a Liberty Mobile employee suggests possible backend access that could trigger privacy and regulatory scrutiny.

Overview

  • The leaked dataset, which was published by the group BYOD on Tuesday, contains names, home addresses, emails, phone numbers and order details for about 3,615 Trump Mobile accounts.
  • Researchers at Cybernews and reporting outlets including PCMag and Straight Arrow examined samples and contacted people listed in the files who said the details matched them.
  • BYOD claims it gained entry by installing a remote‑access trojan on a Liberty Mobile employee and posted screenshots alleging dashboard access, but Liberty Mobile and T1/Trump Mobile have not independently confirmed the attack method or full scope.
  • Trump Mobile and parent T1 Mobile have not published a detailed incident response or remediation plan and the attackers say the company told them it had no team to handle the breach.
  • The exposure follows a separate May flaw that leaked preorder data for roughly 30,000 people and raises clear risks of identity theft, targeted scams and potential regulatory or legal action if a formal response is not provided.
