Lately, the FBI and CISA have revealed that China has been snooping around U. S. telecom networks. This includes the phones of important political figures like former President Donald Trump, his running mate JD Vance, and even people involved with Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign. It's not the first time China has been caught poking around. In the past, they've hacked big names like AT&T, Verizon, and Lumen Technologies. But the question is, what are they up to this time? Is it just spying, or are they planning something bigger?
Some folks think China might be trying to mess with the upcoming elections. After all, phones from both Democratic and Republican campaigns have been targeted. This includes Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer too. But China says they're not involved. They claim it's all just U. S. domestic affairs and they're not meddling.
It's not just China, though. Iran and Russia have also been accused of similar things. Russia even admitted to their shenanigans. The FBI and CISA are still looking into this latest breach. When they found out about it, they quickly warned the affected companies and shared info to help others.
