This is absolutely hilarious and couldn’t happen to the nicest people however few there are.
the company’s spokesperson then added the nugget that they were still evaluating whether they needed to inform the affected customers
Very on brand.
Legit they might not have to because the laws around that are based on the number of people affected. 3600 might be below that number.
They’d need to report if 10 of them are from Massachusetts.
Really doubt they have a Legal, Risk, and Compliance team to help them navigate state-specific laws
That’s … Not a lot of subscribers.
And that includes all the youtube influencers who subscribed for the lols.
That’s still 3,600 people who already fell for an obvious grift. That’s basically a gold mine in future scams!
I mean, all in all that’s less than I’d have thought it’d be. Kind of makes me feel better about things to be honest. I’ve had more than 3600 people engage with shit I’ve made and I’m nobody.
I just feel bad for the two or three journalists who only subscribed to get the sauce
I wonder how many also bought his shitty shoes, the shitty watch, his overpriced gas station quality knife, his crypto, fElon’s crypto…
rubio had to buy two
Wait they only have 3,000 customers. How is that not the main story here, who cares if their data was hacked, if they are a custom of trump mobile they’re probably the sort of idiot that posts their photos credit card on Facebook anyway
I think probably half of those are YouTubers who bought the phone as a bit for content, to tear it down and see just how shit it is, etc.
Which almost seems like the reverse double con.
There was never a phone in the first place. Never expected to be. It was all a scam to get lefty YouTubers to buy a thing that doesn’t exist because they were going to shit all over it.
Lotta effort and embarrassment to get maybe a gross profit in the low 5 figures. Take into account the actual work to get it to that point, even a brick dropshipped from China is gonna cost something to send, and they certainly lost money on the con
I’m thinking more like someone convinced Don Jr to get the name rights, then ran off with the 5 figures.
Only 3600 subscribers 🤣😭
Explains why there’s no one to handle it.
How many of them are content creators who were either rightoids given the phones for free or just got it to make fun of it on their videos
I’m more surprised that 3600 switched. I mean even among his most ardent followers there seems to be an understanding that he’s not good business.
I wonder how many journalists were among that 3000
These terrorists shit in my pants again.
I feel you bro. Just last week Antifa made me have gay sex with this muscular black guy although I’m a straight white conservative guy.
It wasn’t the terrorists, it was Biden
Interesting enough article, and thank you for sharing. But can we talk for a moment about the “About the author” and his apparent inability to decide whether that section should be in first- or third-person?
About the author: Writing is my one incontrovertible passion. Over the past six years, he has authored over 2,200 distinct articles on financial and tech-related topics, spanning nearly 1 million words. And he has been a member of Wcctech mobile team since 2025. As an alumnus of the University of Toronto, Rotman Commerce Program, I bring nuance, in-depth knowledge, and a unique perspective to every topic that I cover. When I’m not writing, I’m traveling the world, exploring hidden confectionaries and restaurants as an aspiring food connoisseur.
Wow, that is some awful writing.
Smells like a local LLM lol. That or schizophrenia
AIs tend to be consistent on things like that. I think it’s just two people writing things and the result has been bodged together.
Sounds like it was written by the author originally, then an editor or manager went “this doesn’t sound impressive enough. We need more metrics and hard numbers”. So they copy-pasted some third-person content from the author’s Wikipedia page, before sending it to the site.
It could be fixed by adding quotation marks around the 1st person sections, as if he’s saying them
Where are the Epstein files?
The FBI destroyed them.
Israel and Russia likely have some originals
Pickett’s charge got nothin on Trump admin
Wow, a single small village of Trump Mobile subscribers will be very mad!
How do you determine who is the village idiot?
It’s kind of like how all the world’s best athletes congregate for the Olympics, everyone there is great at what they do, otherwise they wouldn’t be there.
This is like that, except exactly the opposite. They’re all idiots. Delegations from individual towns, having a contest of supreme dunceness.
Will they? They tend not to ever get upset about anything trump related.
That stupid “tough guy” photo of him is so incredibly ridiculous.
It’s his mug shot for 34 felonies.
This is a bit mean but it reminds me of some older customers I’ve had who were dealing with dementia. Sometimes you say stuff to them and they look both skeptical and a bit hostile like they don’t understand if what you said was offensive.
Just a bit about dementia, you know you should know something or you know you are struggling to understand others and it becomes very frustrating and that can show up as anger. On top of that the degradation of the prefrontal cortex results in less control of emotional urges.
I want to put money on the fact that they sold the data, themselves, for a profit. Since they had an absolutely pathetic number of subscribers
So 25% journalists reviewing the phone and the rest spies?
So, here is what we know so far. Apparently, Trump Mobile only had 3,615 MVNO customers, and all of their sensitive private information has now been leaked on the dark web. The data trove includes first and last names, email addresses, telephone numbers, home addresses, and details on orders with Trump Mobile, as per an analysis by Straight Arrow.
A list of easy marks; just have to filter out a few reviewers and journalists.
I didn’t think “Trump Mobile Subscribers” would be a big enough pool of people to be a tempting target for hackers…That’s a lot of work for a list of trailer-parks…
To be fair to the hackers, it is a list of the people most gullible and least able to admit being fooled.
It’s also a bunch of far-right influencer shills who signed up to review it. Which means the hack could potentially provide some valuable info on who is getting paid to push Trump’s agendas.
Nah, that’s a highly gullible set of the populace. Prime target for further scams.
It would’ve been easy and pointless, but it would’ve been fun. At 3.5 people of income, there’s no sec and the internet will be laughing the next day.
Please seek out the closest person and mumble at them that you’re having a stroke
Lol. If the subscribers were a town it wouldn’t be big enough to have a Walmart.
Barely big enough for a Dollar General.
Nah, that’s not true. My hometown has less than 400 and has a Dollar General. They’ll put a store anywhere.
dg loves food deserts with high percentages of poor and/or elderly. they exist solely to gouge snap and wic recipients and other poor people unable to drive elsewhere for a more reasonable price on grocery.
Yeah, that’s pretty much their business model.
Oddly enough, a lot of groceries are cheaper at my local DG than Walmart.
dolllar tree is the equivalent here in the west, they are usually in between the big box stores, like tar’ge, costco , albertsons,etcwhich arnt close to each other. we dont have walmarts here, because walmart avoids our area like the plague, due to potential high taxes.
Yeah, those things do pop up in the darnedest places.
