“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.
Hardly surprising for the billions of people who assumed, right from the beginning, that this entire enterprise was set up as a scam.
Decades ago, bugs were placed by spies to listen to suspects. Today the suspects willingly opt-in by buying such a piece of e-crap dumb*ss “phone”. Own fault. 🤷♂️😂
I’m not sure how mentally challenged you need to be to use a Trump anything, even worse if it is a mobile device.
It leaks almost as much as Trump’s ass does.
Like did anyone with a brain cell not see this coming?
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.
Provided to you by your “Incompetence First” president.
If it really is just a rebranded Taiwanese phone, it would directly contradict earlier marketing material claiming the phone would be “brought to life right here in the USA.”
Well, technically true, if it’s turned on on American soil, no?

Should be good reading. Be a Shane if any consequences came of this.
