Donald Trump’s presidential campaign was informed this week that Chinese hackers may have gained access to phones used by the former president and his running mate JD Vance.
According to The New York Times, Chinese hackers are believed to have gained access to data from phones used by the Republican candidates. However, investigators are still trying to determine what data was stolen or examined by the hackers following the telecom system breach.
I get the sense that you’re probably not getting the best IT people if you have to select from people who are bought into really bad misinformation. Good critical thinking skills are kind of important for infosec gigs.
10 years ago I’d say this was a bombshell, and the results of what was released could have unprecedented effects on our election.
But now a days? Meh. I mean, half the people in the country have read 10000 horrific stories about Trump already, and the other half believe there’s a group of baby-eating satanists running the world, so I can’t imagine either group really bring too surprised at any announced leaks. I dunno, I guess I still hear about these supposed undecided voters, even if I can’t comprehend how they still exist. Maybe this will change 12 of their minds, or whatever.
Considering the election is likely coming down to tenths of a percent in a dozen districts in a handful of swing states I’ll take those 12 votes.
Yeah, me too. Sorry, I’m just tired.
I think it’s safe to say we all are. Hopefully there’s a chance to rest on the horizon
China, if you’re listening…
Password was “Hamburder”
Vance:
“SexualSectional69!”
Used to be ivankas tits
Coincidentally also the passphrase for Mar-a-lago
I feel sorry for the hackers in this case. There’s a non-zero chance they will be forever traumatized by a pic of a tiny shriveled mushroom.
Release the peepee tape and the NSFW raymour and flanigan pics.
When it’s so easy to get what you want through the front door with this hamburder ($$$$) why bother with blackmail?
