Coffeezilla reported that the security vulnerability that led to the data breach at Trump Mobile has now been fixed.

The news comes as a relief for customers who were worried about their personal information being exposed on the open web.

However, Coffeezilla also warned potential customers against ordering from TrumpMobile.com until they are ready for their information to be leaked.

Launch delay

Trump Mobile was announced in June 2025, just months after Donald Trump began his second term as president. The brand was created by Trump's sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr.

However, the actual launch of the T1 phone has been delayed.

Some journalists who got early access to the device reported unauthorized charges on their accounts after providing payment information for a $100 deposit.

Customer notification

In the wake of the data breach, Trump Mobile's spokesperson told TechCrunch that the company is "evaluating whether it needs to notify customers of the exposure of their personal data."

This statement has raised questions about the company's commitment to customer transparency and ethical practices.

The decision could have significant implications for customer trust and brand reputation in light of this incident.
