Chinese hackers engaged in a broader espionage operation targeted cellphones used by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, his running mate, JD Vance, and people associated with the Democratic campaign of Kamala Harris, people familiar with the matter said Friday.
It was not immediately clear what data, if any, may have been accessed. U.S. officials are continuing to investigate, according to the people, who were not authorized to publicly discuss the ongoing inquiry and spoke on the condition of anonymity to The Associated Press.
An FBI statement did not confirm the identities of any of the potential targets but said it was investigating “unauthorized access to commercial telecommunications infrastructure by actors affiliated with the People’s Republic of China.”
“Agencies across the U.S. Government are collaborating to aggressively mitigate this threat and are coordinating with our industry partners to strengthen cyber defenses across the commercial communications sector,” the FBI said.
U.S. officials believe the campaigns were among numerous targets of a larger cyberespionage operation launched by China, the people said. It was not immediately clear what information China may have hoped to glean, though Beijing has for years engaged in vast hacking campaigns aimed at collecting the private data of Americans and government workers, spying on technology and corporate secrets from major American companies and targeting U.S. infrastructure.

Good Morn ‘Ting America,
STAND BY FOR NEWS:
Here at the EPA POLY-SCI Division of The Esteamed EARL PITTS AMERICAN Fan Club we have moles who have wormed themselves into all Supervisors of Election Offices across The Fruited Plain.
HERE’s THE LITTLE DIRTY SECRET:
What you are not being told is that these voters ARE NOT all registared Republican. No…Indeed 1/2 of these early voters are Registared Democrat but yet are casting their votes for Trump.
The goal is to cut back on Democrats not voteing due to it clearly being a lost cause based on registared Dem’s early voteing for Trump. AMERICA, if this truth gets out to the Rank & File Democrat Voter they will see the futialtity of wasting their time voteing and most will opt to stay home and “Wank” rather than going out and voteing for “SCRUMPY RUMPEY” Kamalla.
AND NOW YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY,
EARL PITTS AMERICAN

Good Morn ‘Ting America,
Once the Chinkey Chinkey Chineise read my above Sage Wisdom, they will stop hacking Trump’s Campaign and accept the certinety of the upcoming Trump POTUS.
Then the Chinkey Chinkey Chineise will “Relax Their Political Sphincters” and opt to just stay home and wank rather than wasteing their time trying to start World War III.
Thank you America,
EARL PITTS AMERICAN

I essentially make about $9,000-$13,000 every month on the web. It’s sufficient to serenely supplant my old employments pay, particularly considering I just work around 10-13 hours every week from home. I was stunned how simple it was after I attempted it duplicate underneath web…..
