A software developer, who wanted to stay anonymous, found a flaw in the Trump Mobile website and reported it to the company - a separate programmer, Jonathan Soma, told The Guardian the Trump Mobile website used a common e-commerce model, that generated a new entry in the database every time someone visits the checkout page, even if they dont proceed with the
purchase. I probably started three phone purchases and didnt buy any of them, he said. Since the database contains 27,224 entries, its safe to assume that the number of affected people is somewhat smaller.

So far, it was confirmed that the site leaked peoples names, addresses, and phone numbers, which is just enough information to launch a relatively successful phishing campaign. There is no evidence, however, of malicious actors obtaining this database, and no reports of actual phishing attacks taking place right now.

Based on the available information, we have not identified evidence that
Trump Mobiles systems, infrastructure, or network were directly compromised, the company told the publication in a statement. The investigation remains ongoing.

Sensitive data was most likely not compromised: At this time, the incident does not appear to involve Trump Mobile payment card information, banking information, Social Security numbers, call records, text messages, or other highly sensitive financial data .
