“I think initially we were surprised that China would target every American with these capabilities. That goes against every norm of international law,” says former NSA Director Gen. Tim Haugh. He says China is targeting U.S. utilities, including water and power infrastructure. Intrusions at American utilities were discovered in 2023. Intelligence officials learned China had been on some networks for at least five years. There is no other reason to target these systems, other than to prepare for war or a conflict, says Haugh, the former spymaster who was in charge of defending the U.S. from computer threats. #cybersecurity #hacking #hackers
