    To be quite honest, I would be surprised to learn any US politicians weren’t targeted by Chinese hackers.

      I mean, there’s a cost-benefit thing here.

      Take, as a random example, Dagsboro, Delaware, population 805.

      Do you really care much about the town admininistrator there? Enough to expend Chinese resources on it that could be working on other things?

    It was the biggest hack. The best hack. No one’s been hacked like this before. Some say it was the greatest hack of all time

    I’ve noticed a lot of hackers targeting those two, any ideas why? I’m guessing because it’s well known they have dirt on them so they’re gathering it to blackmail them on the chance they win

      They’re also dumb as rocks, and probably don’t listen to the tech experts in government who tell them how to maintain the proper level of secrecy on their devices.

      State espionage agencies are going to try to hack both presidential parties. Trump has a record of ignoring security advice so he’s gotta be really easy to hack. Vance might be a little better at the security thing, but his proximity to a weak link like Trump is still an exploitable vulnerability.
