As of this writing, the website of Based Apparel is offline. On Thursday, an X user who goes by Debbie posted that the brand’s website apparently had malware on it, in particular an infostealer, a type of malicious software designed to infect victims and steal their credentials and passwords. A security researcher later analyzed the malware. 截至本文撰写时，Based Apparel 的网站仍处于离线状态。周四，一位名为 Debbie 的 X 用户发帖称，该品牌网站显然存在恶意软件，特别是“信息窃取程序”（infostealer），这是一种旨在感染受害者并窃取其凭据和密码的恶意软件。随后，一名安全研究人员对该恶意软件进行了分析。

This was not a good week for security for MAGA-associated business ventures. On Friday, President Trump’s cell phone provider and maker of Trump Mobile confirmed that the company left customers’ personal information exposed online, including names, email addresses, mailing addresses, cell numbers, and order identifiers. The confirmation came days after a researcher alerted two YouTubers who had purchased Trump Mobile’s phone that their personal data was exposed on the internet. 对于与“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）相关的商业企业来说，这周在安全方面表现不佳。周五，特朗普总统的手机服务提供商及 Trump Mobile 的制造商证实，该公司将客户的个人信息暴露在网上，包括姓名、电子邮件地址、邮寄地址、手机号码和订单标识符。在此确认之前，一名研究人员曾提醒两名购买了 Trump Mobile 手机的 YouTube 博主，称他们的个人数据在互联网上处于暴露状态。
