The Biggest Cyber Threat: China's Hacking Program Exposed FBI Chris Wray

## The Growing Threat of China's Cyber Hacking Program In recent years, China has emerged as a formidable player in the world of cyber warfare. The extent of their hacking program is staggering, surpassing that of every major nation combined. The use of the Vault typhoon malware has allowed China to operate discreetly, engaging in pre-operational reconnaissance and network exploitation. One of the most concerning aspects of China's cyber activities is their focus on critical infrastructure. Sectors such as communications, energy, transportation, and water are in their crosshairs. This poses a tangible threat to our physical safety, as the compromise of critical infrastructure can have severe real-world consequences. The FBI has recognized the gravity of the situation and has taken action by conducting court-authorized network operations to shut down Vol typhoon and mitigate the access it provides to China. However, the sheer number of China's hackers still poses a significant challenge, outnumbering FBI cyber personnel by at least 50 to one. In these times of budget discussions, it is imperative that we prioritize investing in our cybersecurity capabilities to stay ahead of this evolving threat rather than cutting resources. ### Meta Description: China's cyber hacking program poses a serious threat to critical infrastructure and physical safety.
