Chinese hackers who are believed to have burrowed deep into American communications networks have reportedly targeted data from phones used by former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, according to sources cited by The New York Times. The hackers may have gained access to data through a breach of telecommunications systems, potentially including Verizon's network. The Trump campaign was informed this week about the possible breach, which is considered a highly sensitive national security case. Investigators are currently working to determine what communications data, if any, was taken or observed. This incident comes after reports of Chinese government infiltration into U.S. military communications networks.
