"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.

Anyone who bought a Trump phone will probably argue that this is actually a good thing.

“Thank you, Mr President, for letting me participate in your bettering of the country. I believe in your vision and can’t wait to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!! My data will help other countries understand what it is to BE AN AMERICAN! p.s. When is my share of the DOGE money coming? I know you didn’t mean to, but I lost my job and now eat roadkill. This was obviously a mistake and I know you’ll correct it now that you know about it. Call me and I’ll post my account number online for your people to transfer to”
