Chinese hackers are said to have targeted phones used by Trump and Vance

Chinese hackers reportedly infiltrated American telecom networks, targeting the phones of former President Donald Trump and Senator JD Vance. Investigators are assessing what communications data may have been accessed. Such information, including call logs and messaging patterns, could provide valuable insight for adversaries. The Trump campaign was notified of the security breach amid reports of ongoing threats from Iranian hackers.

A spokesman criticized the Biden administration for allowing this vulnerability. This infiltration appears to have broader national security implications, affecting multiple observers beyond the 2024 campaign. The investigation into the extent of these hacks is ongoing, and the potential for real-time monitoring remains uncertain.
