U.S. cell carrier Patriot Mobile experiences data breach

in Security with 0 comment

Patriot Mobile, a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) billing itself as America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, experienced a data breach that compromised subscribers' personal information. The breach included full names, email addresses, home zip codes, and account PINs. The company has ties to conservative figures like Glenn Beck, Sebastian Gorka, and Steve Bannon, and has recently supported conservative and pro-Christian causes in Texas. A hacker provided TechCrunch with a sample of stolen data, which was verified to be authentic. Patriot Mobile, which leases access from AT&T and T-Mobile, has not responded to requests for comment.
