The Chinese Telecom Hack Was Much Worse Than We've Been Told

About a month ago we learned that Chinese hackers had targeted the phones of Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. - John Sexton

The hackers, dubbed "Salt Typhoon" were known to have targeted their phones, along with the phones of other government figures, however it wasn't known exactly how far they got...

• So the bottom line is that the Chinese government was probably listening in on Trump's calls and reading his texts during some portion of the past year. 

They probably had the same access to J.D. Vance's phone plus another 150 or so people, nearly all of them connected to the US government.
This is obviously unacceptable and there ought to be some sort of proportional response for an intrusion like this. 

China has been stealing our secrets and our private information for too long. 

At some point we need to smack their hand hard enough that they learn to stop.
