FBI: China 'unprecedented' threat to US, same with Russia

The scale of threats to US cybersecurity from China is "unprecedented", FBI Director Christopher Wray told CBS News' 60 Minutes. He said that since the start of the war in Ukraine, the FBI has been actively helping to combat Russian hackers, but at the same time the scale of cyber attacks from "the People's Republic of China and especially from the Chinese Communist Party" has increased dramatically.

"They are targeting our innovations, our trade secrets, our intellectual property on a scale unprecedented in history. Their programme is bigger than that of any other major countries combined," he said, noting that the FBI opens new investigations related to China every 12 hours. There are already more than 2,000 of them, and the Chinese have "stolen more personal and corporate data of Americans than all countries combined."

Hackers from China are hitting every sector of the US economy "from agriculture to aviation, from high tech to healthcare".

The FBI director added, however, that he could not say Moscow had stepped up cyber attacks in connection with the special operation in Ukraine. Meanwhile, an attack on the US and "other countries" using Russian military software was repelled in March.

After a certain period of time (various periods of time are mentioned, on average 50 years), Russia will have to return these territories to Ukraine. As the Turkish side insists, this model is a win-win model for both sides of the conflict. ▪️ For Ukraine - because it will receive a Russian commitment, guaranteed by international observers, that it will get back the territories it considers its own and, as can be seen, no Ukrainian leadership will be able to retain its power by agreeing to the contrary. Thus, Ukraine wil...
