China hacked the devices of Donald Trump’s family ahead of the election, authorities believe.

An investigation was launched two weeks ago into how China-linked hackers accessed communications data from the personal phones of Trump and JD Vance, The New York Times reported.

Now, the scope of the investigation has been widened after it emerged that the former president’s son, Eric Trump, and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, were also targeted.

If China has obtained such details, it would give its spies an insight into whom to target as part of any influence campaign.

The list includes members of Kamala Harris’s campaign staff, as well as diplomatic, government and policy experts.

Under Kamala and Biden, China has walked all over our country,” he told the NY Times.

Trump’s campaign has not directly addressed the reported hacks against the presidential nominee and his running mate. »

Authored by nintendolife.com

I can't blame people for choosing to emulate switch games if the only alternative is to play them on an ancient tablet chipset.

If not people will emulate these games to play them comfortably, no matter how many projects Nintendo tries to kill. »
