Quick Glance: Impending Chinese Hacker Attack on US Infrastructure

FBI Director Christopher Wray warns of an upcoming devastating attack on critical US infrastructure by Chinese hackers.

The Chinese hacking group Volt Typhoon has penetrated companies in the US in energy-rich and water-related sectors.

The intent behind the preparation is unclear, but appears linked to China's goal of thwarting US defense of Taiwan.

Active since mid-2021, Volt Typhoon aims to spy on organizations and gain unnoticed access to their networks, as reported by Microsoft.
