Trump Mobile breach exposes data of thousands of customers, including senior Trump Organization IT officer

A ransomware outfit identified as BYOD compromised the network of Trump Mobile, a cellular service launched by Donald Trump’s sons, and posted the personal data of 3,615 customers on a dark-web leak site. The released files contain first and last names, email addresses, telephone numbers, home addresses and order details. One of the records belongs to Eric Brunnett, the vice president and chief information officer responsible for information technology and security across the Trump Organization.

The hack was reportedly achieved after the group infected a Liberty Mobile employee with malware and claims to retain access to Trump Mobile’s backend dashboard. The incident adds to prior criticism of the venture, which faced complaints about undelivered phones after deposits and the removal of “Made in the U.S.” marketing language. Trump Mobile did not answer a request for comment.
