One of the biggest cybersecurity concerns facing the United States today is the threat of sabotage from China-backed hackers, according to senior U.S. national security officials. They have labeled this as an “epoch-defining threat.” The U.S. government has accused Chinese government-supported hackers of infiltrating critical infrastructure networks, including water, energy, and transportation providers, for potentially years. Officials believe that these actions are laying the groundwork for possible cyberattacks in the event of a future conflict between China and the U.S., such as a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
