“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.

    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”

    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?

    Well at least the verge journalist will be happy. He was concerned that it was going to end up being a boring Android phone.

    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.

    Decades 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 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.
