FBI Director Wray Sounds Alarm Over CCP’s Cyber Threat to Critical US Infrastructure

Hackers backed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) pose a serious threat to the critical infrastructure of the United States, according to the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

During a Feb. 15 speech at the Munich Security Conference (MSC), Christopher Wray said he believes the cyber threat posed by the Chinese regime is “massive” as it continues to attack the economic security, national security, and sovereignty of rule-of-law nations worldwide.

“In fact, China-sponsored hackers pre-positioned for potential cyberattacks against U.S. oil and natural gas companies way back in 2011,” he said.

“But these days, it’s reached something closer to a fever pitch. What we’re seeing now, is China’s increasing buildout of offensive weapons within our critical infrastructure, poised to attack whenever Beijing decides the time is right,” Mr. Wray added.
