"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.

NGL, I'm surprised Coffeezilla and Critikal both apparently gave up their home addresses for delivery (they bought it to prove its a scam).

This seems like something that would have certainly been inevitable.

It feels like a po box thing at the least, right??

Especially considering that they both likely have PO boxes for fan mail, so it wouldn't even be a matter of getting one, just putting in the address.
