"Rising Threat: FBI Director Warns of Unprecedented Scale of Chinese Cyberattacks on US Infrastructure"
FBI director Christopher Wray warned at the Munich security conference that China's cyber attacks on US critical infrastructure have reached a scale greater than previously seen, posing a significant threat to national security. The Chinese hacking network, Volt Typhoon, has infiltrated more than 20 major US suppliers, including a water utility in Hawaii and a West Coast port, bypassing cybersecurity systems and leaving strategic vulnerabilities. Analysts believe China has shifted its cyber strategy from intelligence-gathering to infiltration, with a focus on pre-positioning offensive weapons within critical infrastructure for potential disruption or destruction in the event of a conflict.
