Chinese hackers are constantly targeting critical infrastructure in the U.S., FBI Director says
qz.com/china-hacking-fbi-christopher-wray-panic-volt-typhoon-1851425289
Quick Glance: Cyber Threats from China Targeting US Critical Infrastructure
- According to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Chinese hackers are continuously seeking to infiltrate the computer systems of U.S. water treatment facilities and energy grids to induce panic.

- Wray primarily focused on the China threat concerning critical infrastructure but was also questioned about TikTok, the social media platform facing potential banning in the U.S. if ByteDance does not comply.
- The FBI director emphasizes that the threat is not merely a long-term concern anymore but could materialize by 2027, as indicated by a recent assessment from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence suggesting a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan before the decade ends.
