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

Chinese hackers targeted data from phones used by former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, as part of a wider intelligence-collection effort, according to anonymous sources. The investigation aims to determine what communications data was taken or observed. Access to this information, such as call history and contact frequency, could be highly valuable to an intelligence agency like China. Trump and Vance were among the individuals whose phone numbers were targeted, alongside Democrats and staff members of Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign. The hacking attack, believed to be conducted by a group called Salt Typhoon, has raised concerns about compromised data and potential victims.
