“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.

      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.

      I’m shocked, absolutely shocked. Who could have ever expected something like this, a phone made in the USA that was actually made in China, with all of the smart security decisions they made to place around this device to prevent things like this from happening.

      I’m not sure how mentally challenged you need to be to use a Trump anything, even worse if it is a mobile device.

      Color me surprised that a grifting pedophilic psychopath has done yet another rug-pull on the morons gullible enough to vote him into office again.

      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.

          Especially considering that they both likely have PO boxes for fan mail, so it wouldn’t even be a matter of getting one, just putting in the address.
