China’s Covert Cyber Attacks on American Infrastructure   

In Munich, at the annual security conference, FBI Director Christopher Wray highlighted a significant concern – China’s covert cyber threats.

Wray specifically said the Volt Typhoon hacking network that was discovered within U.S. infrastructure was just the beginning of China’s sophisticated cyber efforts.
