Iran and Now China Hacked The Trump Campaign; I Wonder Why They Support Harris...
David Strom
It was just a few weeks ago that we learned that Iran hacked the Trump campaign and leaked (rather anodyne) documents to the world's media.
More recently, we learned that China hacked our telecoms and got access to phone and internet taps that were created by our intelligence "community," and while the information put out suggested that the information they got was only from accounts that the federal government was watching, I had my doubts about that.
Now we learn that China has been going after (getting?) data from President Trump's and J.D. Vance's phones.
It sure seems like America's adversaries are deeply invested in keeping Donald Trump out of the White House.
Chinese hackers who are believed to have burrowed deep into American communications networks targeted data from phones used by former President Donald J. Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, people familiar with the matter said on Friday.
Investigators are working to determine what communications data, if any, was taken or observed by the sophisticated penetration of telecom systems, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe an active and highly sensitive national security case.
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.
