Chinese state-affiliated hackers have collected audio from the phone calls of U.S. political figures, according to three people familiar with the matter. Those whose calls have been intercepted include an unnamed Trump campaign adviser, said one of the people.
The hackers are said to be part of a Chinese government-affiliated group that American researchers have dubbed Salt Typhoon and were able to collect audio on a number of calls as part of a wide-ranging espionage operation that began months ago, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because a federal investigation is underway. The government is still seeking to determine how much audio the hackers have, one of the people said.
