Nationwide Investigation Launched into Racist Text Messages Targeting Black Communities

State attorneys general and the FBI are investigating racist text messages sent to Black people nationwide, urging recipients to report them to authorities. The messages, which included references to plantations and President-elect Donald Trump, have raised concerns about how personal phone numbers were accessed. Telecom companies are working to block these messages, and some have traced them to a VPN in Poland, though the origin remains unclear. The incident has prompted widespread condemnation and efforts to enhance security measures against such hate speech.
