Divya Delhi : The White House has alleged that Chinese-linked cyber actors hacked or attempted to access US voter-related data, raising fresh concerns over election security and cyber threats. The accusation was made during a recent official briefing, where US officials highlighted the importance of protecting critical electoral infrastructure. According to the White House, the alleged cyber activity targeted voter-related information systems, prompting authorities to strengthen cybersecurity measures and closely monitor potential threats. Officials said safeguarding election systems remains a top national security priority. The allegation comes amid continuing tensions between the United States and China over cybersecurity, technology, and national security issues. US officials reiterated their commitment to enhancing cyber defences and working with federal and state agencies to ensure the integrity of the country’s electoral processes. China has previously denied similar allegations of cyber espionage and interference. The latest claims are likely to further strain diplomatic relations between the two countries as cybersecurity continues to remain a key point of contention in bilateral ties.
