Trump Mobile, a phone service marketed around former President Donald Trump, was recently hacked and suffered a data breach. The incident has drawn scrutiny from a senator who is now questioning why the carrier appears to lack some FCC authorizations required for phone service.
According to Ars Technica, the senator's inquiry focuses on the apparent absence of certain FCC filings for Trump Mobile. The concern is that the company may be operating without the necessary regulatory approvals, which could have implications for oversight and consumer protection.
The hack and the regulatory questions together highlight potential vulnerabilities in the service. While the source does not provide a response from Trump Mobile or the FCC, the situation raises broader concerns about security and compliance in the telecom sector.
