Telephone provider Trump Mobile has admitted to exposing customers’ names, email addresses, mailing addresses, mobile phone numbers, and order identifiers to the open Internet.
Chris Walker, a spokesperson for the Trump-branded phone maker, told TechCrunch that the company is investigating the revelations but has found no evidence that any content or financial information was leaked online. The company said there was no breach of Trump Mobile’s network, systems or infrastructure.
Walker said the disclosures relate to third-party platform providers that support “certain operations of Trump Mobile.” He did not name the provider.
The company’s admission follows reports earlier this week that Trump Mobile customer data was publicly accessible on the web.
On Wednesday, two YouTubers who ordered Trump Mobile phones said they were warned by researchers that their personal information was being exposed online. YouTubers Coffeezilla and penguinz0 said they tried to alert Trump Mobile to the exposure after researchers also tried to no avail.
Walker said Trump Mobile is considering whether it needs to notify customers of a breach of their personal data.
