Chinese cyber-group breaks into Trump family phones before 2024 election
High-level Chinese hackers accessed private data from Trump family members and government officials phones. The breach affected less than 100 people including campaign staff and policy experts
Chinese-linked hackers got into private phone data of Donald Trump and his close circle‚ as per recent findings. The cyber-attack which started in early-oct 24 first targeted Trump and JD Vance‚ but investigators found that Eric Trump and Jared Kushner were also hit (making this a wider family-focused operation)
The hack affected under 100 people including Kamala Harrisʼs campaign team members and policy experts; one of Chuck Schumerʼs aids was also on the list. The cyber-group got into phone company systems and might have taken both non-coded messages and call records - investigators think they even got audio talks
Does this surprise anyone? Under Kamala and Biden China has walked all over our country
The hack group named Salt-Typhoon (which works with Chinese intel) broke into US phone systems about 6 months ago. They picked specific phone numbers to attack but its still not clear if they could read messages sent through secure apps
The breach came through Verizon network and might have shown private info of Trump‚ his running-mate and many govt workers. Western tech-experts say Salt-Typhoon has done many smart attacks before; they think this one is meant to help China know who to focus on for their influence work
