A U.S. Army soldier stationed at Fort Cavazos has been charged with selling confidential phone records, including those allegedly belonging to President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Cameron John Wagenius, 20, faces two counts of unlawfully transferring sensitive phone data, according to an indictment filed on December 20 and unsealed this week.
Wagenius is allegedly connected to the online persona “Kiberphant0m,” a hacker linked to several high-profile data breaches, including the Snowflake data breach, Reuters reported. Kiberphant0m also claimed responsibility for breaching the phone records of Trump and Harris.
The indictment accuses Wagenius of selling confidential phone records online, although specific details of the hacking have not been disclosed.
In November, what were described as AT&T call logs for the 2024 presidential candidates appeared online. While the authenticity of the logs remains unverified, The Verge reported their circulation sparked concern about potential security breaches at the highest levels of government.
Federal authorities have not confirmed whether Trump or Harris’ records were genuine or compromised, but the case highlights vulnerabilities in data security.
“We are aware of the arrest of a Fort Cavazos soldier,” Fort Cavazos officials said in a statement to Fox News. “III Armored Corps will continue to cooperate with all law enforcement agencies as appropriate.”
Wagenius is set to be extradited to Seattle, where the case will proceed. The investigation into the breach and the extent of the compromised records is ongoing.
