A Texas-based US Army soldier has been arrested and charged with selling confidential phone records, including material allegedly stolen from President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Cameron John Wagenius, 20, was indicted by a Seattle grand jury earlier this month on two felony counts of unlawfully transferring confidential phone records information on an online forum and on an online communications platform.
Wagenius is a soldier at Fort Cavazos — formerly Fort Hood — in Killeen, Texas.

Wagenius reportedly went by the alias “Kiberphant0m” online, which boasted about hacking more than a dozen telecommunications firms and obtaining call records belonging to Harris and Trump.
In November, Kiberphant0m posted unverified AT&T call logs supposedly belonging to the two 2024 presidential candidates and offered to sell the stolen information, according to The Verge.
It’s unclear what rank Wagenius held in the Army, what his role was at Fort Cavazos and whether his position as a soldier aided him in carrying out his alleged crimes.
Wagenius was a soldier at Fort Cavazos in Texas. APFort Cavazos did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
“We are aware of the arrest of a Fort Cavazos soldier,” Fort Cavazos told Fox News Digital. “III Armored Corps will continue to cooperate with all law enforcement agencies as appropriate.”
In September, the Justice Department brought charges against three members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for hacking Trump campaign staffers and leaking sensitive information to media outlets and the campaign of President Biden and Harris in an effort to undermine the 45th president’s White House bid.
The indictment against IRGC members Masoud Jalili, Seyyed Ali Aghamiri and Yasar Balaghi shows their operation began as early as January 2020, when Trump ordered the airstrike in Iraq that killed IRGC Commander Qassem Soleimani.
The Trump transition team and the Justice Department did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
Wagenius is expected to be extradited to Seattle, where the case is being handled.
