2/ Another bombshell: a reported device compromise…
As if the #SaltTyphoon breach wasn’t already at worst-case-scenario… this report suggests that the attackers may have, naturally enough, been expanding their access beyond interception and onto phones. pic.twitter.com/P6dkbnNbGm

Previously: NYT Claims Without Evidence That China Hacked Phones of Trump and James Bowman
Remember when it was against the law to report on the Hunter Biden laptop because they said it was a hack?
Chinese state-affiliated hackers intercepted audio from the phone calls of US political figures, including an unnamed campaign adviser of Donald Trump, the Washington Post reported Sunday.
Various media outlets reported on Friday that the Trump campaign was made aware last week that the Republican presidential candidate and his running mate JD Vance were among a number of people inside and outside of government whose phone numbers were targeted through the infiltration of Verizon phone systems.
The FBI and the US cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency confirmed they were investigating unauthorized access to commercial telecommunications infrastructure by people associated with China, though they did not not name the Trump campaign in the statement.
Reuters later reported that Chinese hackers also targeted phones used by people affiliated with the campaign of Kamala Harris.
The Post now reports that the hackers were able to access audio from a phone call from a Trump campaign adviser, as well as unencrypted communications such as text messages of the individual.
Attributing hackings is so stupid. Everyone who does hacking uses tools created by the CIA and the Mossad, because when the CIA or the Mossad uses the hacks, they expose them and others can capture them and use them. This was all in CIA documents released by Wikileaks.
It’s an absolute matter of fact that you can’t attribute hacking. It’s not possible. But the media constantly does this, because very few people understand what hacking is, so they can just lie.
It’s more likely that the CIA or the Mossad did the hack and then blamed China so as to drum-up tension. Trump is already talking about a war with the Chinese.

How are you going to fight a war against a country with a billion people? Are you going to invade? Carpet bomb Beijing and Shanghai, and just hope they don’t retaliate? It doesn’t even make any sense.
The US can’t even maintain their proxy war in the Ukraine.
They recently surrendered to a group of mountain people in Afghanistan.
How are they going to fight China?
Why are we talking about this?
What did China do that is real, which you can prove?
You have a weather balloon hoax, now hacking hoaxes, you have all these other hoaxes, with stupid Holocaust gibberish.
What are we talking about here?
