An Australian programmer with IT experience, who asked to remain anonymous, told the outlet that they discovered the vulnerability by accident and attempted to alert the company. Multiple YouTubers said they were contacted by a source who discovered the flaw and found their personal information embedded in about 30,000 orders logged on a pre-order website for the T1, Trump Mobile’s gold-toned flagship smartphone.
