FBI director warns Chinese hackers aim to 'wreak havoc' on U.S. critical infrastructure
MSN/NBC ^ | 1-31-24

FBI Director Christopher Wray warned about the growing threat of Chinese cyberattacks against U.S. electrical grids and other infrastructure during an appearance Wednesday morning before the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.

(excerpt)

Wray also argued that “there has been far too little public focus” that Chinese hackers are targeting critical infrastructure in the U.S. such as water treatment plants, electrical grids, oil and natural gas pipelines, and transportation systems, according to the prepared remarks.

(excerpt)

As Wray testified, the Justice Department and FBI announced they had disabled a Chinese hacking operation that had infected hundreds of small office and home routers with botnet malware that targeted critical infrastructure.

Mr. Wray has not done his job. He is a subversive and now the real threat is coming from communists across the sea.

Sorry, The Department of Defense says the threat is from MAGA and are wargaming it. https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4214140/posts

On the other hand, if wray is saying it's chinese, then it's probably because the feebs are helping them do it.

How could you possibly count a mail in ballot that hadn’t been folded to fit the envelope. It’s an obvious scam.

Yep. How can they use this to get their fingers on actual ballots or data?

Which is probably why they ignored the order to preserve the evidence and shredded as much as they could.

Mr. Wray has not done his job.

++++++++++

Unfortunately, he has done the job team Donkey wants him to do. I believe the comments in this thread are correct and this is cover for “new safe guards” for the 2024 “selection”.

Obozo/Biden and Mayorkas welcomed the the combat aged Chinese into the Country so they could get exact Lat and Long coordinates for their missile/drone guidance systems.

Per the headline in truth translates to: “FBI hackers plan to wreak havoc on critical infrastructure”. Chris Wray has ZERO credibility!

America is spending each day working as hard as possible to destroy itself.

At this point, a little push from the Chinese lands in the “so what?” basket.

“ Christopher Wray who had been known to lie when it’s convenient”

If Christopher Wray could tell the truth and it would do him good, he’d lie anyway.
