FULL STORY
======================================================================

American wireless telecommunications company, Patriot Mobile, suffered a data 
breach in which a hacker stole sensitive customer information. 

According to TechCrunch , which verified the authenticity of the stolen data, 
an unnamed hacker grabbed peoples information, including full names, email 
addresses, home ZIP codes and account PINs. 

At this time, there is no information on Patriot Mobiles website, or social 
media accounts. Thus, we dont know who the threat actors were, or how many 
people were affected by the breach. Conservative values 

Patriot Mobile markets itself as America's only conservative mobile provider. 
It was founded in 2013 and operates as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator 
(MVNO), which means it does not own the wireless infrastructure it uses. 
Instead, it partners with major network carriers to provide service to its 
customers. 

It's believed that the company has fewer than 100,000 subscribers. We also 
dont know the nature of the attack, and whether or not this was a ransomware 
attack. We have reached out to the company via email and will update the 
article once we hear back. 

Patriot Mobile differentiates itself by aligning with conservative values and 
supporting right-leaning causes. A portion of its profits is donated to 
organizations and causes that align with conservative ideologies, such as 
supporting veterans, defending the First and Second Amendments, and pro-life 
initiatives. 

As for the actual service, Patriot Mobile does not differ much from other 
mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs). Customers can expect different 
mobile plans for talking, texting, and using mobile data. 

It also sells a variety of smartphones and accessories to its customers. The 
companys mission is to provide reliable mobile service while also making a 
social and political impact that aligns with its customers' values. More from
