Two YouTubers claim their details have been leaked from Trump Mobile's website. As the T1 Phone appears to be close to launch, Trump Mobile is being accused of insecurely storing customer data, leaving addresses and phone numbers vulnerable. The alleged leak also revealed how many orders for the T1 Phone have been placed, and it's far fewer than the viral numbers have claimed.

YouTuber voidzilla was the first to report the apparent leak, having been tipped off by an anonymous person who discovered the “vulnerability” on Trump Mobile’s website. The hacker claims he can place fake orders for the phone and “collect and search the entire pre-order database,” gaining access to emails, phone numbers, and shipping addresses, though not credit card information.
voidzilla confirmed that his details were in the database, as was YouTuber penguinz0.

Since the leak apparently includes every order placed for the phone, it also suggests how many orders have been placed. There are “ around 10,000 unique customers with around 30,000 unique phone orders ,” according to voidzilla, though it’s unclear if all of those orders are for the phone itself or if they include Trump Mobile’s 47 SIM Plan

In any case, it's far fewer than the 590,000 figure that has repeatedly gone viral over the past six months — although that's not surprising, as that claim had already been debunked back in January.
