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 claimed that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) has allocated significant resources to an offensive cyber program that surpasses those of all other major nations combined.
- 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.

Quick Glance: Maersk plans limited barge service in Baltimore
- Denmark's Maersk is planning to resume some shipping services at the U.S. Port of Baltimore once a temporary channel is opened to allow access for commercially essential vessels that are blocked by a collapsed bridge.

- San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.

Quick Glance: House Decision on Extending and Expanding US Spy Program
- The US House of Representatives made a decision on Friday regarding the continuation of the Section 702 spy program. This decision was made without a modification that would have required the FBI to obtain a warrant to access information of Americans.
- An ongoing controversial US wiretap program has reached a significant milestone towards its reauthorization.
- Following numerous delays, setbacks, and involvement by legislators striving to maintain and enhance the spying powers of the US intelligence agencies, the House of Representatives voted on Friday to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for an additional two years.
- Furthermore, the House bill includes a substantial broadening of the statutory definition for communication service providers, a move that FISA experts, such as Marc Zwillinger - among the few advisors to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) - have vocally cautioned against.
