Trump and Harris Phone Records Allegedly Hacked by US Army Soldier
Fort Cavazos was where Cameron John Wagenius was positioned.
A U.S. Army soldier has been charged with selling confidential phone records.
Federal authorities in Texas charged Cameron John Wagenius, 20, with two counts of unlawfully transferring confidential phone records information on December 20. The indictment was unsealed this week.
In Texas, Fort Cavazos was where Wagenius served as a soldier. His military rank was not mentioned in court records.
According to Reuters, citing cybersecurity journalist Brian Krebs, he was reportedly linked to the online handle Kiberphant0m, which was involved in several high-profile data breaches, including the Snowflake data hacking, and claimed to have hacked President-elect Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris' phone records.
In November, The Verge reported that alleged AT&T call logs for the 2024 presidential candidates were posted online, but the authenticity of the logs was not confirmed.
The indictment didn't give details on the hacking.
The indictment accuses Wagenius of selling "confidential phone records" online.
"Fort Cavazos soldier's arrest is known to us, and we will continue to work with law enforcement agencies as necessary, as stated by III Armored Corps."
Planet Chronicle Digital has reached out to the Department of Justice for comment.
Wagenius will next be extradited to Seattle where the case is being handled.
