So the FBI director

is set to say this to congress today:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Chinese government hackers are busily targeting water treatment plants, the electrical grid, transportation systems and other critical infrastructure inside the United States, FBI Director Chris Wray will tell House lawmakers on Wednesday in a fresh warning from Washington about Beijing’s global ambitions.

Wray will say that that there’s been “far too little public focus” on a cyber threat that affects “every American,” according to a copy of prepared remarks that he is to give before the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.

“China’s hackers are positioning on American infrastructure in preparation to wreak havoc and cause real-world harm to American citizens and communities, if or when China decides the time has come to strike,” Wray will say.

What's the annual budget of the NSA and DoD??

Mar 21, 2024, 5:05 PM

We spend a LOT of taxpayer money on "cyber" (one of the most popular buzz words in Government - particularly with DoD and the Intel crowd) and yet we still don't seem to have any real confidence in our ability to keep the CCP State sponsored hackers out of our critical infrastructure?? Let me show you my "shocked" face...

So what exactly is the NSA doing with all those taxpayer funded cyber monitoring and anti-intrusion tools if not protecting us from adversaries like China and Russia???

IMO it's not just a problem of our ability to self-protect our networks it's also a failure of our "expert" foreign policy class which the establishment of both Party's have empowered for decades. The fact that we all know that the CCP has been, is currently, and will continue to use Chinese State sponsored hacking on a massive scale without consequence is simply a failure in our foreign policy. It is very evident that the Chinese have ZERO fear of any kind of US reprisal for massively intruding in both our Government networks and our civilian infrastructure as well.

Apparently the USA is simply too chicken to put any real teeth behind a "hey you bunch of Communist a**holes - you better knock this hacking shid off or else...". We are severely lacking in having an "or else" response that the Chinese fear. Probably because the Chicoms have successfully bought off so much of our wealthy elitist class that they are simply not going to get any real consequential pushback on their State sponsored hacking theft...
