Trump Mobile Allegedly Tells Ransomware Group 'We Have No Team to Handle This'
4 hours ago
- Ransomware group BYOD claims to have breached Trump Mobile and leaked 3,615 customer records, including the Trump Organization's CIO, on a dark web site.
- The exposed data includes names, emails, phone numbers, home addresses, and order details; BYOD allegedly gained access by infecting an employee at partner company Liberty Mobile with malware.
- BYOD claims Trump Mobile responded to the breach warning by saying 'We have no team to handle this' and called hackers terrorists; Trump Mobile did not comment.
- PCMag verified parts of the leak by contacting affected customers; no Trump family members were in the data, but the CIO's records were present.
- Cybersecurity experts warn the leaked data could enable phishing and impersonation attacks; no passwords or payment card numbers were reportedly exposed.
- The status of BYOD's claimed ongoing backend access remains unverified, leaving the full extent of the breach uncertain.
