Trump Mobile hack and apparent lack of FCC authorization raise security alarms

Sen. Maggie Hassan raised security concerns about Trump Mobile, alleging it lacks FCC authorization for international calling services and hasn't submitted a complete robocall fighting plan. These issues came to light alongside reports of a data breach affecting over 3,600 customers and the company's inadequate response to a ransomware incident.

Background

Trump Mobile is a brand licensed from the Trump family that provides mobile phone services in the US. The FCC requires telecom providers to obtain proper authorizations and maintain security measures for consumer data protection.
