spiffy

Security: As we previously posted, the Trump Mobile website suffered a potential data vulnerability, which might have exposed every customer who made an online account to buy this phone. It's also unclear how long anyone can safely use the Trump phone itself: while Samsung and Google offer seven years of Android OS and security updates for their phones, Trump Mobile hasn't said how many years of software updates the T1 will be receiving, if any.

Sadly databreaches are likely to happen on virtually any site you submit your information to. Companies don't care about security because no one holds them accountable for their failures. Probably especially this site though, because its basically a list of just the biggest suckers in the world.

Companies in EU do care because of GDPR. It's no joke.

Lol as soon as he gets his money he'll lose all interest, I'd be surprised if any update are going to be tested and made available at all.

I don't think it's true Samsung updates their phones for 7 years. Maybe for the premium lines.

Seems like they get at least 6.

Thanks. Seems only the absolute premium (the S series) gets the full 7 years updates.
