Ongoing infiltration by Salt Typhoon group has hit US telecoms companies and Trump, Vance and Harris

Carried out by a group called Salt Typhoon that is believed to be linked to China’s communist regime, it has resulted in the infiltration of dozens of US telecoms companies and the data of senior political figures – including the president-elect, Donald Trump; the incoming vice-president, JD Vance; and Kamala Harris, the defeated Democratic presidential candidate – being stolen.
