"Chinese Hackers Infiltrate US Infrastructure, FBI Chief Warns of Potential Devastating Cyberattack"

FBI director Christopher Wray warned that Chinese hackers have infiltrated US critical infrastructure, targeting companies in telecommunications, energy, water, and 23 pipeline operators, with the intent to potentially cause devastating damage. China's broader intent is seen as a means to deter the US from defending Taiwan, although China denies government involvement and claims the hacking is unrelated to them. The hackers operate botnets to conceal their activities, and private sector companies have attributed the attacks to China.

"US, UK, and New Zealand Unite to Condemn China's Cyberespionage Activities"

The US and UK have announced criminal charges and sanctions against Chinese hackers linked to a state-backed operation targeting US officials, journalists, corporations, pro-democracy activists, and the UK's election watchdog. The hackers, known as APT31, aimed to harass critics of the Chinese government, steal trade secrets, and spy on high-level political figures. The US Justice Department charged seven hackers believed to be living in China, while the British government imposed sanctions on a front company and two defendants. The hackers sent malicious emails to install tracking software, targeted home routers, and accessed information on tens of millions of UK voters. Both countries have expressed concerns about China's increasingly assertive behavior and its state-based threat to economic security.

"U.S. and U.K. Impose Sanctions on Chinese Hackers for Cyberespionage"

The U.S. and U.K. have accused Chinese state-linked hackers of engaging in "malicious" cyber campaigns targeting political figures and democratic institutions, leading to the announcement of sanctions against individuals and entities affiliated with the hackers. The U.K. attributed a cyberattack on the Electoral Commission to China-affiliated actors, while the U.S. Justice Department unsealed an indictment against seven Chinese nationals for their involvement in cyber campaigns targeting U.S. businesses and officials. These actions are expected to escalate tensions with Beijing and could have profound implications for international relations and cybersecurity norms.
