The exposed data reportedly included names, home addresses, email addresses, phone numbers and order information belonging to Trump Mobile customers, according to the report.
PCMag and Straight Arrow News said they contacted several individuals whose information appeared in the breached dataset, and those individuals confirmed that the data was accurate, lending credibility to the reported breach.
