Trump Mobile confirmed on May 22, 2026, that a security flaw on its website exposed the personal information of an estimated 27,000 customers who pre-ordered the gold-colored T1 smartphone [1, 2]. The exposed data included full names, email addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers, and order identifiers, but did not include financial details such as credit card or Social Security numbers [3, 1, 2].
The company said the breach was linked to a third-party platform provider supporting some of its operations, rather than a direct compromise of Trump Mobile’s own network or infrastructure. Chris Walker, a company spokesperson, stated, “We have not found evidence that Trump Mobile’s systems, infrastructure, or network were directly compromised. The exposure was linked to a third-party platform provider that supports certain Trump Mobile operations.” [1]
Several public figures helped confirm the exposure, including YouTubers Coffeezilla and penguinz0, who said their personal data appeared publicly on the site. Coffeezilla warned, “I know that because sadly I am one of those customers whose mailing address, email address, you know, everything short of credit card number is being leaked. Do not order on trumpmobile.com unless you’re ready for your information to be leaked. It’s basically that bad.” [4, 5, 1]
The exposed order data suggests that around 27,000 to 30,000 people placed pre-orders for the T1 phone, a sharp contrast to earlier viral claims of 590,000 orders that have since been discredited [3, 4, 5]. Some sources estimated roughly 10,000 unique customers, with up to 30,000 unique phone and SIM plan orders combined, indicating some confusion over the exact figures [4].
Trump Mobile began shipping the T1 phones after nearly a 10-month delay and dropped its initial promise to manufacture the device in the United States [3, 5, 2]. Following the exposure, the company has implemented additional safeguards and is reviewing its obligations to notify affected customers [3, 1].
