Trump Mobile, the phone company launched by Donald Trump’s family business, is investigating a potential security flaw on its website that may have exposed the personal details of an estimated 27,000 individuals who sought to purchase a gold-coloured smartphone.
The company said in a statement that it is looking into the issue with the help of independent cybersecurity professionals. The exposed data includes full names, addresses, and phone numbers of people who filled out preorder forms. However, Trump Mobile stated that no credit card or banking information appears to have been compromised.
“Based on the available information, we have not identified evidence that Trump Mobile’s systems, infrastructure, or network were directly compromised. The investigation remains ongoing,” the company said. It added that additional safeguards and monitoring measures are now in place, and it is evaluating notification obligations.
The discovery was made by an Australian programmer who reported the flaw to Trump Mobile. Jonathan Soma, a programmer and professor at Columbia University, reviewed the code and noted that the website used a common e-commerce model, with the total number of possible pre-orders reaching 27,224. However, he said the data includes those who abandoned their carts without completing payment, so the actual number of preorders may be lower.
The security issue comes nearly a year after Trump Mobile debuted its service and T1 smartphone in June 2025, marking the 10-year anniversary of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. The company initially promised US manufacturing but has since revised its stance, with the website now stating the phones are “designed with American values in mind.” Chief executive Pat O’Brien said the first T1 phones are assembled in the US and will use locally manufactured components moving forward.
