WASHINGTON, May 26, 2026 – A phone company linked to the Trump family has confirmed that personal data belonging to thousands of customers was publicly accessible online due to a third-party security vulnerability.

Trump Mobile, a mobile virtual network operator that resells access through major carriers, said in a statement the flaw exposed customer names, email addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers, and order identifiers tied to pre-orders of its $499 gold T1 smartphone. Payment card data, banking information, and Social Security numbers were not affected.

The company said independent cybersecurity professionals were investigating and that additional safeguards were now in place.
