Chinese Hackers Target Phones of Trump, Vance, and Harris Campaign

U.S. authorities are investigating a sophisticated cyber-espionage operation linked to China that infiltrated Verizon's systems and targeted multiple political figures.

Chinese hacking group 'Salt Typhoon' is suspected of breaching U.S. telecommunications networks, including Verizon, to gather intelligence.
Phones used by Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Kamala Harris's campaign were among the targets identified in the hacking operation.
The FBI and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency are collaborating with industry partners to mitigate the threat and strengthen defenses.
Investigators are still determining the extent of the data breach and whether sensitive information was accessed or compromised.
The Trump campaign has accused the Harris campaign of emboldening foreign adversaries, though no evidence supports this claim.
