One of President-elect Donald Trump’s lead attorneys, Todd Blanche, has been informed by the FBI that his cellphone was hacked by Chinese hackers, as part of a wide scale operation targeting Republicans and Democrats that has been ongoing for months.
According the the FBI, the hackers were able to listen to some of Blanche’s recordings, and read texts.  However at this time they do not believe any of the conversations breached involved Trump.
Back in August, CNN reported that another Trump attorney, Lindsey Halligan, was targeted in an Iranian hack.
Meanwhile, other members of the Trump circle have also been targeted by China, including Vice President elect JD Vance.  China’s hacking campaign has not only targeting Republican’s with high level democrats in the Harris-Walz campaign also being targeted by the Chinese.
The hacking campaign was conducted via intrusions at US telecom firms AT&T, Lumen and Verizon, and US officials conducting the investigation consider it to be among the most concerning national security-related hacks in recent memory, with one even suggesting the hack was “way worse than the public knows.”
The Chinese government has denied the allegations.
