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

    Very on brand.

    Legit they might not have to because the laws around that are based on the number of people affected. 3600 might be below that number.

    Wow, a single small village of Trump Mobile subscribers will be very mad!

    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.

    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...

    To be fair to the hackers, it is a list of the people most gullible and least able to admit being fooled.

    It’s also a bunch of far-right influencer shills who signed up to review it. Which means the hack could potentially provide some valuable info on who is getting paid to push Trump’s agendas.

    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.

    Which almost seems like the reverse double con.

    There was never a phone in the first place. Never expected to be. It was all a scam to get lefty YouTubers to buy a thing that doesn't exist because they were going to shit all over it.

    Lotta effort and embarrassment to get maybe a gross profit in the low 5 figures. Take into account the actual work to get it to that point, even a brick dropshipped from China is gonna cost something to send, and they certainly lost money on the con

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    dolllar tree is the equivalent here in the west, they are usually in between the big box stores, like tar'ge, costco , albertsons,,,etcwhich arnt close to each other. we dont have walmarts here, because walmart avoids our area like the plague, due to potential high taxes.

    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.
