Chinese affiliated hackers have compromised water utility companies, at least one oil and gas pipeline, an attempt on the Texas power grid to “sow panic and chaos” and disrupt logistics.
WASHINGTON - Chinese affiliated hackers have compromised over two dozen “critical entities” within the United States, including critical infrastructure such as water utility companies, at least one oil and gas pipeline, an attempt on the Texas power grid to “sow panic and chaos” and disrupt logistics, official stated.
The systems being compromised by China appear to be a part of a future trojan horse operation not only being used to inflict panic and chaos within the general public but also positioning themselves within critical U.S. systems to deploy them at a later date and time of their choosing in the event of a conflict arising between the United States and China.
