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.

- 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.
