"Escalating Threat: Chinese Hackers Infiltrate US Infrastructure for Years, Warns FBI Director"
Chinese hackers have reportedly had access to some US infrastructure systems for at least five years, with the potential to disrupt water and electricity. US intelligence officials have raised concerns about the hackers being used to disrupt a US response if China invades Taiwan. A nearly 50-page report by US and allied security agencies details the hackers' stealthy techniques and aims to help private owners of critical infrastructure spot their presence. The report also reveals that the hackers have breached computer networks at energy, transportation, and water facilities in the US and its overseas territories, sparking a monthslong effort by US national security officials to remove them.
