Honestly, I am not shocked by this as this was coming for ages. Which was that Trump Mobile has been pwned. And the details are well, predictable:
A Trump Mobile data leak has exposed the personal information of almost 4,000 people, including the cybersecurity chief responsible for protecting the Trump family business.
A dark web forum post revealed that a new criminal cyber group calling itself BYOD published data belonging to 3,615 Trump Mobile users on its leak site last week.
The exposed information reportedly included names, email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses and order details.
After examining the breached samples, the Cybernews research team confirmed that they appeared to be legitimate and were not tied to any previous breaches.
Among those exposed is Eric Brunnett, vice president and chief information officer of the Trump Organization, the entity which handles the family’s business affairs.
Brunnett’s LinkedIn profile says he oversees “all information technology and information security for all aspects” of the organization.
Last year, Brunnett told Hospitality Upgrade – in an interview that hailed him a “Technology Rockstar” – that there were an “unimaginable number of bad actors trying to infiltrate our network every day.”
“We have to maintain a security posture that doesn’t allow breaches of any kind,” he added.
Well, I guess this Brunnett guy is going to be looking for a new job. Here’s why:
In its initial message announcing the breach, BYOD said they informed Trump Mobile of the breach but were told that the mobile carrier had “no team to handle this” and that “anyone who hacks them is a terrorist.”
“Well unfortunately for them, all 3615 customers and their PII, alongside telecom details are now up for grabs,” BYOD added.
It has been reported that BYOD gained initial access by infecting an employee at Liberty Mobile, a Florida-based mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) that powers Trump Mobile, with a remote access trojan.
The hackers claim they then pivoted to exposed Trump Mobile subdomains and exfiltrated the customer data. BYOD also claims it retains “live access” to a Trump Mobile dashboard.
Honestly, it’s bad enough when you get pwned through no fault of your own. But when you from the looks of it have pretty sub-standard security to keep the bad guys out, you pretty much deserve to be pwned. Now this follows the fact that this same organization was pwned in May where you would think that this organization would have learned their lesson. But clearly not. In any case, if you tried to get this phone, I would check to see if you’ve been pwned. Because you have likely been pwned.
