DONALD Trump and JD Vance’s phones have reportedly been “hacked”, launching a probe into the potential breach.
Chinese hackers who tapped into Verizon’s system targeted phones used by Republican presidential candidate and his running mate, citing people familiar with the matter.

The New York Times said investigators were working to determine what communications, if any, were taken.
The Trump campaign was made aware this week that Trump and Vance were among a number of people inside and outside of government whose phone numbers were targeted through the infiltration of Verizon phone systems, it added.
The campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Trump campaign was hacked earlier this year. The U.S. Justice Department charged three members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps with the hack and trying to disrupt the Nov. 5 election.
