China's Cyber Army Targets US Infrastructure, Experts Warn of Impending Conflict
A report reveals that state-sponsored Chinese hackers may have breached more than two dozen US systems, targeting critical infrastructure such as water utilities, ports, and oil and gas pipelines. Experts believe this is part of China's long-term strategy to distract or infect American commerce and infrastructure in the event of a conflict over Taiwan. The hackers aim to infiltrate systems unnoticed, gather information, and launch ransomware attacks at vulnerable moments. The US is currently lagging behind in cybersecurity and faces the challenge of catching up to China's hacking capabilities.
