The Trump phone appears to have already leaked its customers’ personal information through a glaring exploit

"Do not order unless you’re ready for your information to be leaked. It’s basically that bad."
Donald Trump’s smartphone has only been in reviewers’ hands for a few days, and it’s already coming apart at the seams.
According to Stephen Findeisen, a popular YouTuber who investigates online scams under the handle “Coffeezilla,” anyone who ordered the Donald Trump’s signature smartphone, the T1, is liable to have their personal information leaked to the world.
Essentially, Findeisen alleges that the Trump Mobile website contains a simple exploit allowing an entry-level hacker to both place fake pre-orders for the T1, as well as view the entire list of data from previous orders. The YouTuber was made aware by a friendly white-hat hacker, who was able to produce Findeisen’s name, order information, and mailing address, among other personal data.

Hardly surprising for the billions of people who assumed, right from the beginning, that this entire enterprise was set up as a scam.
NGL, I’m surprised Coffeezilla and Critikal both apparently gave up their home addresses for delivery (they bought it to prove its a scam).
This seems like something that would have certainly been inevitable.
RebekahWSDIt feels like a po box thing at the least, right??
Especially considering that they both likely have PO boxes for fan mail, so it wouldn’t even be a matter of getting one, just putting in the address.
AppoxoI’d guess that the order system denied shipment to PO boxes?
I’m shocked that any physical products ever got into the hands of the people who wanted then, I thought for sure it was a total scam. Apparently I was right, just not in the way I had thought.
NakedmoleI’m not sure how mentally challenged you need to be to use a Trump anything, even worse if it is a mobile device.
The non-news is that the Trump family or Trump Mobile has lied about anything one can.
The bad news is that the information on every customer that did order is easily accessible on the open internet.
The good news is that Trump Org lied about the number of people who ordered it so about 20-60x fewer people are affected than expected.
LucidlethargyIt wasn’t leaked. It was bought.
Trump sold it.
OliverDecades ago, bugs were placed by spies to listen to suspects. Today the suspects willingly opt-in by buying such a piece of e-crap dumb*ss “phone”. Own fault. 🤷♂️😂
I’m shocked, absolutely shocked. Who could have ever expected something like this, a phone made in the USA that was actually made in China, with all of the smart security decisions they made to place around this device to prevent things like this from happening.
If it really is just a rebranded Taiwanese phone, it would directly contradict earlier marketing material claiming the phone would be “brought to life right here in the USA.”
Well, technically true, if it’s turned on on American soil, no?
😈MedicPig🐷BabySaver😈Losers. Each and everyone. Dumbest group on Earth.
Kinda makes you wonder what the world would be like without all the warning signs like hot liquid and cruise control does not drive car huh? I mean yeah, we probably need signs marking minefields, chemical transports, etc. But common sense shit like turn electric off before installation, do not place flammable object in a fire, etc? Darwin weeps.
Color me surprised that a grifting pedophilic psychopath has done yet another rug-pull on the morons gullible enough to vote him into office again.
Anyone who bought a Trump phone will probably argue that this is actually a good thing.
“Thank you, Mr President, for letting me participate in your bettering of the country. I believe in your vision and can’t wait to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!! My data will help other countries understand what it is to BE AN AMERICAN! p.s. When is my share of the DOGE money coming? I know you didn’t mean to, but I lost my job and now eat roadkill. This was obviously a mistake and I know you’ll correct it now that you know about it. Call me and I’ll post my account number online for your people to transfer to”
Well at least the verge journalist will be happy. He was concerned that it was going to end up being a boring Android phone.

Ok, this is hilarious
But, the article writer seems to be not very technical inclined
How nice of the homepage to already provide the exploit needed…
This entire concept is like buying steaks from a reality TV star, or going to a university created by a guy who bankrupted multiple casinos.
You really have to be a fucking idiot to buy one.
lol. Lmao, even.
kek, even.
jajajajaja
Couldn’t have happened to a more gullible bunch of habsburgers
Did someone say hamberders?
Tesler.
Putting the slur in Tesler
That is probably a new record. Getting hacked before you even have decided on a product to sell.
I’d be surprised if they haven’t installed mining malware on these devices.
Mining isn’t worth doing anymore. That vulnerability was likely placed intentionally.
Aren’t the only people who bought this thing secret benefactors and a handful of reporters?
It was actually quite a lot. I think it was 600 000 preorders. Unless I’m remembering it wrong and it was even more.
Coffeezilla did a video on the preorders and the information leak. Sounds like they grossly over reported the pre sale numbers.
Oh man, another case of tomfoolery? I should have expected off it already :D
I feel like someone was reminded that this thing exists because of the recent headlines and then thought it is probably exploitable.
Wait does that mean I can’t trust the quality of his labubus either despite the sticker saying it was made with American supervision and inspired by American ideals?
