Trump, Vance potential targets in broad China-backed hacking operation

Federal authorities suspect that cybercriminals linked to China may have tried to access phones or networks used by former President Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance. The extent of the cyber operation and what information may have been compromised is unclear. The Justice Department and FBI have not commented, and the Trump campaign has declined to respond. The hack is being treated as espionage rather than an attempt to influence the campaign. Law enforcement has notified potential victims of the cyber attack, which targeted officials from both major political parties.
