Chinese Hackers Targeted Trump and Vance’s Phones

“Chinese hackers who are believed to have burrowed deep into American communications networks targeted data from phones used by Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance,” the New York Times reports.

“The type of information on phones used by a presidential candidate and his running mate could be a gold mine for an intelligence agency: Who they called and texted, how often they communicated with certain people, and how long they talked to those people could be highly valuable to an adversary like China.”

“That sort of communications data could be even more useful if hackers could observe it in real time.”
