Chinese Hackers Target Phones of Trump, Vance, and Harris Campaigns
Recent investigations have revealed a significant cyber-espionage operation attributed to Chinese hackers, who have allegedly targeted the cellphones of prominent political figures, including Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Kamala Harris. Reports indicate that these hackers used sophisticated methods to breach parts of the US telecom system, gaining potential access to sensitive information linked to the 2024 election campaigns. The FBI and CISA are currently probing these claims, highlighting that many political campaigns in the US lack adequate cybersecurity measures. These attempts are seen as part of a broader trend of cyber intrusions linked to China, raising concerns over national security and electoral integrity.
