Soldier Charged With Selling Phone Records Of Trump, Harris

Cameron John Wagenius, a 20-year-old U.S. Army soldier stationed at Fort Cavazos, has been charged with selling confidential phone records online. The data allegedly includes call logs linked to President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, according to federal prosecutors.

Using the online alias “Kiberphant0m,” Wagenius has been implicated in several high-profile data breaches, including the hacking of Snowflake, a cloud-based data platform. Reuters reported that Kiberphant0m claimed to have accessed and leaked phone records for Trump and Harris, though the records’ authenticity remains unconfirmed.

The indictment, unsealed this week, includes two counts of unlawful transfer of confidential phone records. Court documents did not specify the method used to access the records or Wagenius’ rank in the Army.

The alleged call logs were shared online in November and reportedly tied to AT&T, according to Forbes. The breach has raised questions about the security of personal communications for public officials.

Fort Cavazos officials acknowledged Wagenius’ arrest, stating that the III Armored Corps is cooperating fully with the investigation. The case highlights ongoing cybersecurity vulnerabilities within government systems and the risks posed by insider threats.

Federal investigators continue to examine the scope of Wagenius’ activities and the potential impact of the alleged breaches.
