China-backed hackers have been infiltrating U.S. critical infrastructure, aiming to prepare for destructive cyberattacks during a potential conflict, particularly over Taiwan.
Christopher Wray stated that China's hackers are positioning within American infrastructure to cause significant harm if a conflict arises between the U.S. and China.
Following efforts against the 'Typhoon' hacks, the U.S. disrupted Volt Typhoon, a group tasked with enabling destructive cyberattacks on American systems.
The emergence of another group called 'Salt Typhoon' shows that China-backed hackers are seeking to gather intelligence by infiltrating U.S. telecom networks.
