FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before a House committee, warning that Chinese hackers, linked to the Chinese government, are targeting critical infrastructure in the United States. The hackers are preparing to cause 'real-world harm' to Americans, with a focus on water treatment plants, electrical grids, transportation systems, and other critical infrastructure. Wray emphasized that China's hackers outnumber FBI cyber personnel by at least 50 to 1, and the Chinese government has a bigger hacking program than every major nation combined. The FBI has disrupted a large botnet of malware installed by Chinese hackers on hundreds of routers inside the US. Wray's warning comes after the US government launched an operation against a Chinese hacking operation, Volt Typhoon. The threat of Chinese cyberattacks against US infrastructure, including water treatment plants, electrical grids, and transportation systems, poses a serious national security threat, according to the FBI.
