The Biden White House made a stunning admission that Chinese hackers have the ability to cripple the American power grid and ports, and it is reportedly not just run-of-the-mill intrusions but increasingly sophisticated actors with unparalleled skills.
Jake Sullivan, national security adviser, had known about the Chinese hackers' ability to knock out critical infrastructure for more than a year, sources told The Wall Street Journal.
In the fall of 2023 he had warned telecommunications and technology executives in a secret White House meeting, seeking Big Tech's help in protecting American lives and infrastructure from hacks.
Since then there have been at least nine U.S. telecom companies hacked, according to deputy national security adviser for cybersecurity Anne Neuberger.
"We will never know regarding the scope and scale of this," she told the Journal. "They were very careful about their techniques."
The hacks have morphed from mere "keyboard warriors โ once seen as the cyber equivalent of noisy, drunken burglars" to now be "soldiers" with "astonishing skill level and stealth," according to the Journal.

What a revelation huh?
Would it help if we paid the “Big Guy” 15%?
Who had the responsibility to protect our country?
And we can submerge half of China with a single airstrip. Beware China, a new sheriff is coming to town.

“The Biden White House made a stunning admission that Chinese hackers have the ability to cripple the American power grid and ports, . . . “
Was this Biden’s rationale for ending fossil fuels for transportation, cooking, and home heating thereby making the nation completely reliant on the electrical grid for energy?
Zelensky's Zeepers.
China got it’s moneys worth for the Biden Bribery operation.
If I read between the lines here, I think they are claiming that the US Intelligence Community can close down our ports and and power grid. So ... you know ... don’t be surprised when that happens ... because ... Trump’s fault.
Clinton started it, and Obama and Biden allowed them to do this.
This picture is worth 1000 words. Somebody ought to make one featuring China.
All of America’s Enemies that invested in The Democrat Party and Joe Biden got their money’s worth.
True.
Point taken.
Chinas leadership actually probably wouldn’t care. They are always worried about losing control of so many people so that would solve some problems for them, while at the same time they would milk it to the world for sympathy, and also use it as a reason for doubling down for “justice/revenge”.
Not saying not to do it, just saying they are readg to flip it.
Would be cool if they close our ports. Then we can tell their container ships to turn around and go home.
One of the first thing Biden did as President was shut down Trump’s China Initiative program. The program targeted Chinese intelligence and sabotage activities aimed at the U.S. You’ve got to admit China Joe gave good value for money for anyone willing to pay him off.
A bargain at twice the price.
