A newly emerged cybercrime group, BYOD, claims it breached Trump Mobile and leaked personal information from 3,615 customers, including prominent Trump allies.
Straight Arrow News first reported the alleged breach and found information including names, phone numbers, email addresses, home addresses and details about customer accounts.
The outlet said the leaked data also included information belonging to Eric Brunnett, a vice president and chief information officer for the Trump Organization.
PCMag separately found signs that the leaked information was legitimate after speaking with 3 people whose names and personal details appeared in the data. One customer said the leak accurately showed that they had previously canceled a Trump Mobile service plan.
The hacking group behind the leak, known as BYOD, claimed it gained access by infecting an employee at Liberty Mobile, a Florida-based company connected to Trump Mobile. The group said the access eventually allowed it to reach Trump Mobile systems and obtain customer information.
BYOD also claimed it still had access to a Trump Mobile backend dashboard. The group has not publicly provided independent evidence proving the full extent of its claimed access.
A prominent cybersecurity-focused X account, International Cyber Digest, said the leaked data includes people close to Trump, including singer Larry Gatlin, Trump adviser Jason Miller, EchoStar co-founder Charlie Ergen, Rep. Mike Kelly, pro-Trump influencer Bo Loudon, Trump Organization VP of IT Eric Brunnett and Trump Hotels Assistant General Counsel Nicholas Hayes.
Some people listed in the leak had previously interacted with Trump Mobile without successfully purchasing or using the service.
According to a customer cited by PCMag, she never completed a Trump Mobile purchase but had provided the company with her contact information.
The full extent of the breach and whether all 3,615 records belong to active customers remain unclear.
